"God in Exile"

                    "I am with you always, even to the end of the age"

                                             MATTHEW 28:20

Do you ever feel like you are far away from God? John the beloved apostle of Jesus Christ, though exiled to a barren island n the Aegean Sea, was not exiled from God. God, the Living One, went with him. For John being shut away from the world on a prison island, meant being with God While on Patmos, John received a magnificent revelation of earth's and mankind's future.

        Across the centuries, God has walked with people of faith in dark circumstances. An innocent Joseph sat in a prison. Rizpah spent months guarding the dead bodies of her sons. Martin Luther walked through deep depression. In each case, the Living God walked with them through these dark circumstances. These people came through their bend in the road because God was with them every step of the way.

        God uses the difficult times in our lives to show us amazing things.  You may experience isolation on every side, but you can walk in confidence. As God was with John in Patmos, He is with you . God won't desert you. You can trust whim fully through every difficult experience. You can will never be exiled from God.
