Do You Know My Jesus?

         One of the plus sides of Facebook is the act of "friending" someone.  You can send a request to someone else to be their friend and then, they agree and press the button and like magic you are then friends with that person.  It is sometimes interesting to see all of the friends that you have on this social media.  Every now and then you will rest your pointer on a person and it will tell you how many "mutual" friends you have and even give their names.  What is even more interesting is that from time to time, you may get "unfriended."  You can secretly push another button and "whamo" that person is removed your exclusive group of friends.  You may never know they did this to you until you find their name in the group to "be a friend" again.  That means that somewhere along the line you all got separated.  I am really glad that God doesn't do that to us.  Hebrews 13:5 says, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."  
       There are a lot of lessons in this verse of Scripture.  It talks about your Christian walk and it also talks about being content with the things that you have instead of being envious of the things of others.  Today, I like to zero in on the little phase, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."  To the best of my knowledge, Scripture does not indicate that there is a button in heaven, whereby God could push it and we would be separated.  Once we know Him or to put it another way, once we become a child of God by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we have eternal life.  Eternal means eternal.  It means everlasting and that God will never leave us.  We might do things in our lives that would be worthy of separation and during those times, our fellowship is pretty thin yet we are still part of the family of God.  I am so thankful for the truth of this verse of Scripture.  He, God, will never leave us nor forsake us.  you can be assured today as you get involved in the world that "God is indeed with you."  We know this by the fact that we are indwelt with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is God.  So, rest assured that He will never leave you nor forsake you.  His Word tells us that.  Praise God for His relationship with believers.
