Hinder not the "Lo, I am with you always."by complacent indifference! Matthew 28:20


Hinder not the "Lo, I am with you always."by complacent indifference!
Matthew 28:20
The Lord delights to be with us every day while we are going about our day. However, do we earnestly desire to be with Jesus every day! Does our complacent indifference to His presence draw him away from us and out the door? Do we hinder Him from coming to us, because we are ever so steeped in our present concerns? Once your will set free, by His quickening Saving Grace, always open the door to His knocking Grace, hinder not His entrance and fellowshipping with you and feast with Him in His broken body and shed Blood! As He first welcomed you into His presence through His Blood, Now! Welcome, Him in your afflictions, sufferings, concerns, needs and chase away careless indifference to your need for Him to be with you, but earnestly desire to be in His presence everyday, by means of prayer and meditation, for there is no better place to be, but to be with Him where He is seated in the Heavenly Realm, by His throne of Grace, for there is no other place incomparable and exclusively, but to be there where He is, "Lo, with you always," is a far better cry to be with Him as He is with you, rather than being with the dwellers of darkness, corruption and death, rather than having the dominion of sin's control ruling your heart away from Him, there is no other place to be but be with Him, rather than complacent indifference of sluggardly resting in front of the light of the mesmerizing and hypnotizing TV, media, and darkness of social gatherings that have no place for Jesus to be, no place in the Inn for Jesus, but go to that great place of Jesus with you always; where He once laid in the Manger, where He once spread His Arms on the Cross, where He once Laid in that Empty tomb, where He is seated now at the right Hand of God the Father, making intercession, indeed, for His Church, His precious Bride, and all His members therein, even me and you if you have believed on the Rock of your Salvation. As in the words of Charles Hadden Spurgeon, Evening:
"Remember his presence may be had. His promise is as true as ever. He delights to be with us. If he doth not come, it is because we hinder him by our indifference. He will reveal himself to our earnest prayers, and graciously suffer himself to be detained by our entreaties, and by our tears, for these are the golden chains which bind Jesus to his people."
