He will not take His eye off us!',

"Surely, I am with you always!" Matthew 28:20

Then Jesus is with us now. He is, and He will be with us, as He has promised, in all future time. He is with us . . .
to afford protection,
to impart consolation,
to subdue our fears,
to inspire with hope. 

His presence is pledged to us, and it is . . .
the shield of our protection, 
the strength of our hearts, 
and the source of our joy. 

He will not leave us to go a step alone! 

He will not take His eye off us, or close His ear to us for one moment!

He tells us that we are more endeared to Him—than the loveliest infant is to the fondest mother. The ties of nature are not so strong, or so tender, or so lasting—as the ties of grace. 

Let us endeavour to keep this fact in view: Jesus is now with us—and ever will be with us. He will be the last to comfort us in time—and the first to welcome us in eternity! He will go through the whole journey with us—and then bring us to be with Himself forever! 

We are therefore sure of one thing—the presence of Jesus! His presence is the bliss of heaven—and the glory of immortality. Turn, then, from every creature—to Him! Lay down this night, resting upon the precious promise of Jesus, "Surely, I am with you always!"
