When we’re suffering, grieving, dealing with persecution or injustice, we can have confidence in these two truths:
2. God cares for us deeply.
Two passages that beautifully express this truth:
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:29-31
Knowing that our Lord knows us so well and cares about us so tenderly, our natural response is found in 1 Peter 5:7:
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Let’s memorize these passages so they can comfort us in times of trouble.

ReplyDeleteLord Jesus, as I grow older and wiser I realize in so many ways and in details of my life just how much you have been there for me. I feel closer to you now more than ever and my eye's, and hears and entire being realizes that you DO love me. Even though with every rotten choices that I have made in my past, I finally realize, you do love me. It has taken me a life time to realize this. I am so eternally grateful to you Lord. I Love You, Amen
