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". The words in this hymn are so true.

"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?  

We know Jesus cares and loves us because He proved it when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross and suffered all that pain for something He hadn't done.

Yes, Jesus really does care when we are sad and we feel like we can't take another step or give another smile. If you'te hurting, tell Jesus. He will pick you up and carry you until the pain goes away and will set you once again on the mountain of happiness.

I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for all You've done for me and for all You do for me every day. I look forward to seeing You when God calls me home to Heaven.
