HE CARES FOR US

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

 1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Rev. Virgil Prentiss Brock wrote the beautiful hymn “He Careth for Me”.  For those of you who are on my mailing list, you know I love hymns.  I love these words in this hymn.  “Tho’ storms and tempests may break o’er my soul, He careth for me; Safely I’m kept under Jesus’ control, He careth for me.”

Yes, He cares for us.  He cares and loves us so much that He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for our sins.  Jesus was beaten beyond recognition, spat on, cursed, mocked and rejected yet He loves us so much that He stayed on the cross for us.

Never forget that Jesus loves you.  Yes, I’m writing to you.  Our precious Saviour endured all that agony because He loves you so much.  What kind of love is this?  It is an amazing unconditional love that only comes from the heart of Jesus.  If you ever think nobody loves you, remember the cross.

Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your beloved Son to die for our sins.  Jesus, You are so precious to me and I love You with all my heart.  How I long for the day when I will see You face to face.  I am going to give You a big hug.  Thank You for loving me and dying for my sins.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
