Have you ever asked Where is Jesus when (you fill in the blank)?
Sometimes the brokenness of this world presses in too close and we forget the beautiful truth that Jesus is with us in every moment of every day. We forget that He is our Everyday Emmanuel.
Or maybe we know it’s true, but it doesn’t feel true.
There was a time when I struggled with feeling alone and, to be honest, sometimes abandoned by God. Even when I read His Promises in the Bible, those promises didn’t feel true for me. My head knew the truth, but my heart didn’t believe it for a second.
One day I got really honest with God and told Him, I know You say it’s true, but I don’t feel it. I need you to show me that you are with me.
And He did.
In big and small ways, He began showing me that He was with me. And over time, my head knowledge became rock-solid truth in my heart.
Now I KNOW He is with me, and it has changed my life.
One of the ways He helped me see His presence was through the stories of His presence in the lives of other people. When we see the tangible ways He is working in others’ lives, it helps us look for Him in specific ways in our own life.
I am trusting He can do that for you too. With that in mind, I am launching a new series on Mug to Mug with Erin, Where is Jesus When….?
Where is Jesus When….? is a collection of interviews where real-life people tell about a time when they walked through a difficult situation and felt God’s presence. Their stories are powerful, and broken, and encouraging, because no matter the brokenness, our God is weaving the beauty of redemption in the darkest places.
I will release an interview on Wednesday of each week. If you subscribe to Mug to Mug with Erin on YouTube, you will be notified as they are released. (Go ahead and subscribe so you won’t miss a single interview!)
I am so excited about introducing you to some new friends. I am praying that their stories will help you see and feel God’s presence in your life.
