Emmanuel — God With Us
God with us.
The most beautiful truth—steady and unchanging.
Not bound to a season, not wrapped only in December’s carols,
but constant, every breath, every day.
He is God with us at the breaking of dawn, when morning light spills across the floor.
God with us in the stillness as you rock your babies.
God with us in the fluorescent-lit work meetings, in the ordinary rhythms that make up a life.
He is God with us on the mountaintops, when laughter rings and joy feels weightless.
And He is God with us in the dark valleys, when sorrow swells and tears could fill a jar.
God with us in the waiting room—
hands fidgeting, prayers whispered.
God with us at the graveside—
when the ache is too deep for words.
He is God with us. Always.
He does not change.
His Word does not change.
His love never fades.
Our feelings waver.
Trends come and go.
People enter and exit our stories.
But Emmanuel—
He stays.
He bends low, sits beside us,
and whispers into the ache: I am faithful. Always faithful.
It’s beautiful to sing of Emmanuel at Christmas.
But His song? It is not seasonal.
It is the steady melody meant to hum in our hearts daily.
He is God with us today.
He is God with us tomorrow.
He is our strong tower,
our refuge, our rest, our joy.
He is Emmanuel.
God with us.
