God’s gracious presence and assistance – Thomas Brooks
“Lo, I am with you always,” Matthew 28:20
This is a promise of God’s gracious presence and assistance.
Lo, I am with you, to own you!
Lo, I am with you, to counsel and direct you!
Lo, I am with you, to cheer and comfort you!
Lo, I am with you, to assist and strengthen you!
Lo, I am with you, to shelter you and protect you!
Lo, I am with you, to strengthen your graces!
Lo, I am with you, to weaken your sins!
Lo, I am with you, to scatter your fears and answer your doubts!
Lo, I am with you, to better your hearts and to mend your lives!
Lo, I am with you, to bless you and crown you with immortality and glory!
What can the soul desire more?
