YES HE CARES

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

1 Peter 5:7
King James Version

Rev. Frank E. Graeff answers this question for us in this beautiful hymn "DOES JESUS CARE?" I'm so glad the words in this hymn are 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. He proved He cared when He died on the cross for our sins. He suffered excruciating pain on the cross. He took our place and died for us so we can go to Heaven when we die.

What have we done for Him? Does He know we care? We can tell people we care but Jesus can see in our heart and He knows if we really care or if we are just putting on a show.

May God have mercy on us if we are hurting His beloved Son. I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for never leaving me and for comforting me when I am hurting. I appreciate You so much.
