DOES HE REALLY CARE

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

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version

Someone said "I wonder if Jesus really cares about me"? I think there must be many times when Jesus wonders if we really care about Him? Rev. Frank E. Graeff wrote the beautiful hymn "DOES JESUS CARE?

"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."

There are times when we treat Jesus like He is a puppet. We put Him on a shelf and only take Him down when we need or want something. How we must hurt our precious Saviour at times and break His heart.

When we say hateful words, criticize one another and do and say things that hurt our precious Saviour, it breaks His heart. We need to remember that Jesus didn't die for just your sins and for my sins, He died for every person in the world. We are all precious to Him and it's time we stop hurting Him and breaking His heart.
