"Always" and "Never"

Marriage counselors tell their clients that the words 'always' and 'never' should never be used in a conversation involving confrontation and conflict with their spouse.

For example, never say, "You always interrupt me when I'm talking; you never listen to me" or "You always leave the seat up and you never flush the toilet."

There are, however, nice times to use these words like when you say, "You always smell good and you never make me feel like I have to earn your love."

God uses the words 'never' and 'always.'
Check it out.

Matt. 28:20b-"...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

(If He is with us until the end of the age, surely He will be with us when we come to the end of our 'world' as we know it.)

Luke 15:31-"Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours."

(The father spoke these words to his older son who thought he was being too merciful to his prodigal son. We who live with the mercy and grace of God, should not resent God for giving mercy and grace to any child who returns back home to Him.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Thess. 4:17,18-"Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."

(Be comforted with these words. Someday, we, the redeemed, shall always be with the Lord. He will wipe away all of our tears. The older son will stand with his prodigal brother and both will sing the song of the redeemed. Don't lose hope. It's going to be worth it all. The troubles of this life are not even worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us. Live well. Finish well. For soon He comes.)

John 6:35; 11:26~"And Jesus said to them 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.'"
"...And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."

(Never hunger, never thirst, never die.
Aren't these the very things that give us discomfort in life?
Hunger, thirst, the process of dying?
'Never', He said, in regards to these things.)

1 Cor. 13:8a-"Love never fails." (It is always right to love.)

Hebrews 13:5-,6-"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you or forsake you.' So we may boldly say: 'The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?'"
(Because He will never leave us, we have boldness and freedom from fear. We are also free from the continual lust for more.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so, my friend,
He is always with us; now and forever.
He will never leave us; now and forever.

We never need to fear because
He is always near.

Be still.
Breathe.
Believe.
