I Am There

A dear friend sent me this and it reminded me that Jesus is here with me.

Do you need me?
I am there
You cannot see me
Yet I am the light you see by
You cannot hear me
Yet I speak through your voice.
I am at work though you do not understand my ways
I am at work though you do not recognize my works
I am not strange visions
I am not mysteries
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self,
Can you know me as I Am.
And then but as a feeling and a faith
Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need me, I am there
Even if you deny me, I am there
Even when you feel most alone, I am there
Even in your fears, I am there
Even in your pain, I am there
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray
I am in you and you are in Me
Only in your mind can you feel separate from me
Empty your heart of empty fears
When you get yourself out of the way I am there
You can of yourself do nothing but I can do all and I am in all
Though you may not see the good, good is there for I am there
I am there because I have to be because I Am
Only in me does the world have meaning
Only out of me does the world take form
Only because of me does the world go forward
I am the love that’s the laws fulfilling
I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness.
I am the law that you can live by
I am the law that you can cling to
I am your assurance I am your peace I am.
Though you fail to find me I do not fail you.
Though your faith in me is unsure my faith in you never wavers.
Because I know you, because I love you
Beloved, I am there.
