Meditate On
God’s Love For You Is Personal, Detailed
and In-Depth
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares
for you.
1 Peter 5:6–7
There are many believers today who don’t cast their cares
upon the Lord. I believe that it is because they don’t have a revelation that
He cares for them. Look at what His Word says: “casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.” Unless you have absolute confidence that Jesus cares for
you, you will not cast your cares upon Him. Just think, would you call upon the
help of a relative or friend in your time of need if you were not confident
that the person would respond to your call? Jesus cares for you. When you call
upon Him, know that you have His fullest attention with all of heaven’s
resources backing you up!
Maybe you are thinking right now, “Well, I am sure that
Jesus has more important things to do than to bother with my problem.” Hang on.
By saying that, you have just shown that you don’t really believe that Jesus
cares for you. Now, let’s see what the Bible says: “But the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many
sparrows” (Luke 12:7).
I love and care for my sweet daughter, Jessica. But as
much as I adore her and care for her well-being, I have never, not once,
counted the number of strands of hair on her head! She does not know how great
a blessing she has been to me. I love to kiss her, smell her hair and hug her
tightly. Yet, in all my great love for her, I have never taken the time to
count the number of strands of hair on her head in all these years!
But do you know that your heavenly Father numbers the
hairs on your head? I really hope that you are beginning to catch the heart of
Jesus and not generalize His love for you. His love for you is all-encompassing.
If He cares enough to keep track of the hairs on your head, is there anything
too small for Him that you cannot talk to Him about?
My friend, His love for you is personal, detailed and
in-depth! Your heavenly Father wants you to involve Him even in the smallest,
most mundane matters of your life, and see His unmerited favor surround you,
protect you and lead you to good success.
BLESSINGS
