HE REALLY CARES ABOUT US

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

Have you ever thought that nobody cares about you?  I thought that for many years.  I really believed that nobody cared if I lived or died until the day Jesus told me He loves me and that He would protect me and never leave me.  He really cares about us.  What a precious Saviour we are privileged to have.

Rev. Frank Ellsworth Graeff wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus “Does Jesus Care”.  I love these words.  “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.”  Jesus loves us unconditionally and He cares about us.

Jesus not only cares, He is also with us through the long lonely nights when we can’t sleep.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, loves you?  Yes, I mean you.  If you are reading this devotion, Jesus loves you and will always love you.

We know Jesus loves us.  He proved His love for us when He died for our sins.  Does Jesus know we love Him?  What are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him?  The best way to prove to Him that we love Him is to serve Him.  We will have to shut off the television and get out of our comfort zone to serve Him.

Are you willing to shut off the television and get out of your comfort zone and serve Jesus?  Our Saviour left Heaven, His Father and everything He had to die on the cross for you.
