JESUS CARES AND LOVES YOU

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Pastor Frank Ellsworth Graeff wrote a beautiful and inspiring hymn “Does Jesus Care”.  The words tell you how much Jesus cares and loves you.  “Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief; When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Savior cares.”

If you ever think that nobody cares about you and loves you, remember the cross.  Jesus walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for your sins so you can be saved and go to Heaven.  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.

Not only does Jesus care about us and love us, He will never leave us.  I repented of my sins, asked God to forgive me and invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour on August 14, 1980 and He has never left me, not even for a minute.  We know that Jesus loves us but does He know we love Him?

The best way to prove to Jesus how much we love Him is to be kind and loving to Him and to one another.  Do we love one another unconditionally as He has commanded us to love?  If not, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.  Jesus loves us no matter how many times we fail Him and hurt Him.

May God help us to love one another unconditionally.  What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.  If you’re hurting and discouraged, tell Jesus.  He will pick you up and carry you through all the dark valleys in your life and will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.
