It's as if I could reach out and touch Him.
I don't remember how many times I have been told that Jesus was right in front of me, but I know it's enough for me to be assured that He's not going anywhere. And tonight, something hit me as my mom told me, " I feel as though I could reach out and touch His hand."
We talked about how many times God had provided for us in the recent past. All little reminders of His love. There was not a time where we started to worry, whether it was about where we were supposed to be in life or something more concrete like furniture, when He did not show up. It is so true when they say: "All things are in His hands". And while we sit in His hands, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to look up and see Him looking down on us. I can almost hear Him singing with joy on His lips.
And more personally, not just with my family, I have seen God at work in my life. In this time of trusting Him financially, I remembered when I gave $5 and on the same night received $100 from someone I just met. I remember Him healing me in the hospital, and continually restoring my health. And besides the more miraculous, He covers me with protection, wakes me up every morning and provides for me with all I need and more. Isn't that a miracle in itself, that God can take care of me with such detail and still take the same precise care of all the other people around the world.
I sit on the sidelines and watch Him at work in other people's lives as well. As my mom was saying, she saw how her unfurnished apartment was filled with furniture within a matter of weeks. It was to the point that we had to give furniture away. I have also watched as every time we thought we might be in a financial bind, my mom received an award at work or a check.

I know my God is amazing and that there is none that can compare.
And though sometimes He has to get in front of me, to say, "I am with you, Sarah... Don't be afraid."
I know that He is here...
