OUR SAVIOUR UNDERSTANDS AND CARES

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

1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Pastor Frank E. 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.”  I believe Pastor Graeff wrote this hymn from the depths of his heart.

Our Saviour not only cares when we are sad and discouraged, He also understands how we feel.  When He was here on His mission, He had feelings just like we do.  He grew weary, discouraged and I’m sure at times, felt like giving up just like we do.  Jesus knows how it feels to be ridiculed and rejected.

Yes, Jesus cares when we are sad and discouraged and He wants to help us.  The next time you are hurting, sad and discouraged, tell Jesus.  He will pick you up in His loving arms and will carry you through the dark valley until the pain goes away.  You are very precious to Him and He loves you.
