Forever in God’s love

Thomas Mitchinson

“I’m in your corner” is a phrase I often tell my children, both adult and younger ones, whenever they face tough decisions. I simply want them to know that they are not alone. I may not be with them personally at the time I’m saying this, but what I mean by it is that I support their decisions. I’m assuring them of my unconditional love for them. They tell me they appreciate that.

As important, comforting, and reassuring as such a connection is to both my children and me, I have found it is even more important for us to realize that God is always in our corner—or, more accurately, that we are always in His corner; in other words, that we are always in the infinitude of God’s presence, and that we are always at one with Him. The Bible declares, “In him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). We can never be outside the embrace of God, the infinite Spirit, or without His care and guidance.
