HE REALLY DOES CARE

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

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version

Rev. Frank E. Graeff wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "Does Jesus Care?". I love the words in this heart touching hymn. "Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth or song, As the burdens press, and the cares distress And the way grows weary and long? 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 are reading this devotion, know that Jesus does care about you. He cares when you are sick and hurting, lonely, discouraged and you feel like giving up and going to bed and staying there. I know from personal experience that Jesus cares. There have been many times that I have felt His arms of compassion and love go around me as He tenderly held me in His loving arms and said "I love you, Joanne, and I will never leave you" and He hasn't left me since August 14, 1980 when I invited Him into my heart.

We read in the Bible "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5). What a precious promise from the heart of our loving Saviour to know that He will never leave us, not even for one minute. O how I love Jesus!
