Immanuel: How God Is with Us? By Emma Danzey Bible Reading "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means "God with us"). – Matthew 1:23 Did you know that when you woke up this morning, God was with you? Did you know that when you received that horrible news, God was with you? Did you know that when you reached that goal, God was with you? One of the most beautiful gifts to give a loved one is quality time. This is one of my top love languages. It does not matter what we are doing, but simply being with my husband makes my heart happy. Being with someone implies closeness, availability, and being on a team. One of the most unique blessings that Jesus gave to us was not just coming to be with us physically and die for our sins (Although vital to our salvation), but He also explained that He needed to ascend to the Father so He could send the Holy Spirit (The Helper) to be with all believers.  When Jesus walked this earth, individuals sought after Him among crowds trying to be noticed or touch His robe or get just a moment of His time to talk with Him. Now that we have access to the Holy Spirit, we do not have to wait in line, get only a moment to speak or fly to Israel to connect with Jesus. We have His Spirit with us all of the time, no matter what. He is Immanuel, God with us.    CONTINUE READING →
