You are there always!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. — John 1:1
God's Message of salvation was with him at creation. In fact, by nature, the one who was the Message was God himself. John wants us to know that Jesus, God's Word and ultimate Message, was with God from the very beginning. The one who turns water to wine, feeds the 5000, and raises Lazarus didn't make his human appearance on earth until he was born in Bethlehem, but he has always been there. He is God with us, as Matthew puts it (Matthew 1:23). He is God come to visit us as Luke tells us (Luke 7:16). He is the Son of God as Mark reminds (Mark 1:1). He is God's ultimate and final Word (Hebrews 1:1-2)!

Thoughts 

. Ministry in its purest and simplest form is love.  Ministry is, in fact, doing love.
- Win Arn

. God has a special reason, a unique design in each friendship.  He chose to surround your life with these certain treasured dear ones for good reason.  These Christian friends are the ones with whom you will live for eternity, enjoying an even deeper dimension of friendship. - Joni Eareckson Tada

Rest in Seven Aspects

. Creation Rest – Broken by Sin -Genesis 2:2
By the seventh day  God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

. Redemption Rest – Secured in Christ -Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you,
 the Mighty Warrior who saves.
 He will take great delight  in you;
 in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
 but will rejoice over you with singing.”

New Creation

. A New Birth – It’s Entrance -John 3:3
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

. A New Man -It’s Characteristic – Colossians 3:10
and have put on the new self,  which is being renewed  in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
