On the day before one of our secretaries had major surgery, our front office staff circled up in the head principal’s office to pray with her.
After we finished, she handed each of us a little rubber Jesus figurine. He’s about one and a half inches tall, and he’s reaching out with both arms and there’s a big smile on his face.
I put the Jesus in my pocket and forgot all about him, until I reached for my key fob, walking out to my car after work, and found him again. I sat him down on the console—facing me as I drove. “This reminds of the song, Jesus, Take the Wheel,” I thought. I planned to take Jesus inside with me that afternoon, when I got home, but I forgot him in the car.
The next day, Nancy drove my car, and she texted me: “I looked down today while I was driving, and there was Jesus!” She went on to say how it reminded her that God is always with us.
We’ve taken turns since then, switching the figurine from my vehicle to hers, and then back again. We also like to surprise each other by putting Jesus in different places. After finding him propped up on the dash, inches from the turn signal stalk, she texted, “Jesus is closer to me than ever!”
The little Jesus from our secretary, the surgery went well and she’s on the mend, serves as a great visible reminder that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not limited by time and space.
Kind reader, when Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always,” it wasn’t an empty promise. Christ is ready and willing to “ride along” with anyone who will turn their life completely over to Him. Today, and every day, may we be able to say, “Jesus is closer to me than ever!”
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ Prayers and love.
