Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Peter 5:7
As we speed through these threads, voicing our thoughts, views and opinion… enjoying the fun and fellowship this Forum provides, let us remember that this forum is visited by people who need an encouraging word. They need some good news in their lives.
Years ago, when I really, really needed some good news, a pastor friend of mine drove some 400 miles to deliver some good news. He walked up and spoke two words: “Jesus Cares.”
That’s it? Just two words? I needed more. I wanted more. Or, so I thought. After he left, I began to think about what he spoke to me. Then I thought about what it took for him to speak those words to me. He drove all night through rain and bad weather… he sacrificed his time, his money and his energy to drive all that distance to speak two words. Jesus Cares. The words… well, they were what they were, but when I thought of the sacrifice it took for a brother to drive a great distance to speak those words, I realized…Jesus DOES care. For me.
And, He cares for you. You may feel unloved, forgotten and alone. But, you are loved, He hasn’t forgotten, and you are not alone. You are loved, with a Love that transcends human understanding. Jesus said, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends Jhn 15:13 . And He did just that. For you. You are not forgotten. God doesn’t forget those in need. Psa 9:18. And, in Jesus, you have “….a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Pro 18:24.
Take heart, and believe that, in spite of all you may feel, in spite of any mistakes you may have made, Jesus Cares for YOU! And we care, too. We have made mistakes, as well. But God, in His limitless love and mercy, helped us to find forgiveness through the Name of Jesus. Now, we are here to pray with you- to offer you an encouraging word, and to help you find God’s plan for your salvation. Please feel free to post your prayer request in the Prayer Closet. We believe God still answers prayer. There are many people on this Forum who will pray and believe God to meet you everyneed. We know JESUS CARES for you!
