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

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version

Charles Weigle wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus" The words in this hymn describe how wonderful our Saviour is to us.

"I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus, Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true. I would tell you how He changed my life completely; He did something no other friend could do.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus; There's no other friend so kind as He. No one else could take the sin and darkness from me; O how much He cared for me."

We know how much Jesus loves us because He proved it to us when He allowed them to crucify Him. How much do we love Him and what are we doing to prove to Him we love Him?

Ray Overholt wrote a hymn about our Saviour that always brings tears to my eyes to know how much Jesus loves us "Ten Thousand Angels".  

"They bound the hands of Jesus In the garden where He prayed They led Him through the streets in shame They spat upon the Saviour so pure and free from sin They said, "Crucify Him He's to blame"

Upon His precious head They placed a crown of thorns They laughed and said, "Behold the King" They struck Him and they cursed Him And mocked His holy name All alone He suffered everything.

He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world (the world) and set Him free He could have called ten thousand angels But He died alone (alone) for you and me."

All of us need to answer this question. Am I going to go to Heaven and be with Jesus when I die? If you have never admitted you are a sinner, asked God to forgive your sins and invited Jesus into your heart, I urge you to do it while you are reading this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
