OUR SAVIOUR CARES

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

1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Pastor Frank Ellsworth Graeff wrote one of my favorite hymns “Does Jesus Care”.  I love these words.  “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.”  Our Saviour cares about every one of us.

It doesn’t matter how many dark valleys we have or how many crises we have, our Saviour cares.  He not only cares about us.  He will also pick us up in His loving arms and carry us until the pain goes away and will set us once again on the mountain top of happiness.  O how Jesus loves you!

When you get discouraged and think nobody cares about you, remember Jesus cares about you so much He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition and crucify Him on the cross for your sins.  Allow Jesus to comfort and encourage you.  He will never leave you or forsake you, not even for one minute.

Since I gave my heart to Jesus on August 14, 1980, He has never left me, not even for one minute.  There are times when satan discourages me so much that I feel like going to bed and staying there and then I remember the love my Saviour has for me and the sacrifice He made for me.

If you’re lonely or hurting today, it doesn’t matter if you’re hurting physically, emotionally or financially, tell Jesus.  He is waiting for you to come to Him with His arms open wide and with His heart full of love for you.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!
