Jesus feels for you, and always understands. He knows you better than you can even know yourself. He knows every single detail about you from before you were ever born, and knows exactly what's going on and exactly what you need in every moment; He loves you more than anyone else can as He is love and above all else. He is your strongest supporter as He is your Creator, Redeemer, Heavenly Father and your ultimate friend. Without Him we wouldn't exist. "Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of heavenly lights" (James 1:17). And there is nothing above Him and nothing that He can't handle, and nothing can touch you that He won't allow. It has to pass through Him first. But, be rest assured that God loves us and is with us in everything as we are His, so though we don't always understand, not everything is meant for us to understand ("Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5). And God appoints angels to watch over us as well, "For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." (Psalm 91:11). The Holy Spirit of God is living inside of us, working in us. Jesus refers to Him as our Counselor and Helper. We belong to Him. Jesus bought us with a price (His life) and as soon as we choose to truly give ourselves to Him that's forever and nothing can take that from us no matter what. We as believers are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14); "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." God has given us the mission and message to produce good things that bring glory to Him and to proclaim His message of salvation. "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do;" (Ephesians 2:10); "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you." (Matthew 28:19-20). God has plans for our lives and helps us to accomplish those plans ("For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11). And if something doesn't go the way it's supposed to because of our choices, He always has a back-up plan. One of His promises is that He works everything out for the good of those that love Him (Romans 8:28). <3
