the companionship of Jesus

“whatever was gain to me i count as loss for the sake of Christ. i count ALL THINGS AS LOSS in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord…..that i may know Him…and the power… and the fellowship…” philippians 3

the companionship of Jesus.
it’s a real thing.
i know, because i’m walking in it.
every. single. day.
my years in nashville have been the most lonely in my life.
not sure why.
they just have been.
and continue to be.
but God…
the companionship of Jesus sustains me.
on those days i think i am losing it.
like… about to crack….wide open.
afraid to even let myself cry.
for fear i won’t be able to stop.
won’t be able to recover.
the companionship of Jesus is there.
when i feel it.
and when i don’t.
His presence is there.
because He says it’s there.
“peace I leave you. My peace.”
“I am the true vine. remain in Me and I will remain in you.”
“I know My sheep.”
“and lo, I am with you always. even until the end of the age.”
are you struggling?
are you in the midst of a painful season?
lonely?
hurting?
suffering loss?
discouraged?
be encouraged.
let the companionship of Jesus sustain you.
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE what He says is true.
will your season change?
it might not anytime soon.
mine hasn’t.
but God…
reminds me that He is there.
with me.
so i have peace.
and great joy.
yes.
GREAT JOY.
because of
the companionship of Jesus.
from the inside out.
