The last words of John Wesley were, “The best of all, God is with us.” I just got back from visiting at the hospital and the longer I live the more I believe that John Wesley was absolutely right. No matter what we go through, no matter what we endure, no matter what we suffer (and likewise, though we tend to take less notice of this point, no matter how well our lives may be going, no matter how well the world is treating us at present, no matter how many blessings we can count), the best thing about life is that God is with us … always.
