Jesus is with us 

We ask where

Where are you Jesus?

We seem to handle

many challenges and

at times our loved 

ones die or are in pain

We ask - where are you?

We don't feel your comfort and care

No repsonse then

when we least expect it we 

hear a gentle voice

Oh my child 

I know your heart

Remember the times

you felt comforted by a loved one?

Remember the joy you felt when

you reflected on a wondrous sunset?

Remember the times you prayed

and you felt peace and refreshed?

Remember the times you cried

and told me how sorry you were

when you turned away from your faith

and realized you were forgiven?

Just a few of the ways I'm with you

Just as the sun is hidden

behind the clouds during a storm

I am here

You may not feel my presence - but

I am here

Even in the storms of your life 

I am still here

Not only behind the clouds

but in them

Not only in nature and others

but in your heart

In your soul

I am here

I AM here.
