Rainy and Cold

I love the way the Bible always describes God as He is relating to humans. It is about God but it is about God and us.  Now that Easter is over what is He to do and what are we to do?  What is the rest of the story?  He goes back home to prepare for our homecoming.  And we are left here alone.  He risen and with us, yesterday, can be followed by us alone here today; today “having enough trouble of its own.” Matt. 6:34.  This particular today is rainy and cold following Easter yesterday, sunny and warm.  I am reading the book Holiness by J.C. Ryle which “is considered the best book on Christian living ever written.”  The chapter I am currently on is The Cost and deals with the absolute necessity of counting the cost of being a Christian.  One great struggle I have is feeling alone without God even though His word continually assures me He never leaves me alone.  Another great truth is that He always says not to fear.  By that, he does not mean, just stop fearing!  He means, there is no reason to fear for He is always with me!  He solved that after he went back to heaven by sending His Helper, to live in me.  I can never be alone because He lives in me.  In other words, it’s rainy and cold on Him today as well. 

Easter at Zac and Britts.  Aaron's family couldn't 
make it.
