Revelation 1:17 “And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.”

Today, Chambers is again writing about the love and comfort of God. Sometimes it is difficult to feel Jesus’ presence when we are in the midst of personal despair and darkness, but He is always there. I know this truth because I lived it. When I was at the gravest/vilest part of my illness, I was in such a physical, emotional, and spiritual fog that, even though I was crying out to Him, I could not feel Him. This is when I was being tested and refined. Sorrow was my constant companion, but before I fell into oblivion, Jesus caught me. He led me to a place of releasing all to Him. It was like a blinding light of truth, and from that moment on I knew He could get me through the storm. I had to become recklessly abandoned to my Savior, and lean into Him in full faith and trust. I had to fall as dead before my God, so that all was stripped away from me but Him. I would never be the same again.

Chambers writes, “Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it is ineffable peace and comfort, the sense that ‘underneath are the everlasting arms’, full of sustaining comfort and peace.” I am so thankful that the loving arms of Jesus will never let me go.
