Immanuel and Emmanuel

Our Savior was named Immanuel. God with us.
Our grandson was named Emmanuel. God with us.

Immanuel. God with us.
Emmanuel. Us with God.

God With Us

They named him Emmanuel.
God with us.
We wanted him here
Hoped today
Would be his birth day.

But Emmanuel is with God.
We miss him.
Silently, his life speaks
God is with us.

We have this Promise
Eternal Life.
Us with God.
God with us.
Together forever.

A Conversation with the Lord

The Lord told Moses, “Go, for I am sending you.”
Moses protested, “Who am I to lead the people?”
God answered, “I will be with you (from Exodus 3:10-12).”

God still tells people who pray: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:4).

Never Forsaken

As He died, alone, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me (Matthew 27:46)?”

People who love and follow Jesus never need to pray that.

God has said, “Never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).”

Thank you, Lord Jesus.
