JESUS CARES

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

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version

Rev. Frank E. Graeff wrote one of my favorite hymns "DOES JESUS CARE?" I am so glad to know that Jesus does care about us and He proved how much He cares for us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for your sins and my sins.

"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.

Does Jesus care when my way is dark With a nameless dread and fear? As the daylight fades into deep night shades, Does He care enough to be near?

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed To resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief there is no relief, Though my tears flow all the night long?

Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbye To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks, Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

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."

Yes, He does care when we are sick, have a broken heart or feel all alone. The question we need to ask ourself is "Do I care about Jesus? We need to remember that our precious Saviour has feelings. If you have been ignoring Jesus and only going to Him when you want something. Stop it! He has feelings too. I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for dying for me and for all You do for me.
