HE cares for ME!

"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you!" 1 Peter 5:7
It is a happy way of soothing sorrow, when we can feel "HE cares for ME!" Christian! do not dishonor God, by always wearing a brow of worry! Come, cast your burden upon your God! You are staggering beneath a weight, which your Father would not feel. What seems like a crushing burden to you, would be but as small dust to Him. Nothing is so sweet as to,
"Lie passive in God's hands,
And know no will, but His."
O child of suffering, be patient! God has not overlooked you in His providence. He who is the feeder of sparrows, will also furnish you with what you need. Do not sit down in despair.
There is One who cares for you!
His all-seeing eye is fixed on you!
His all-loving heart beats with pity for your woe!
His omnipotent hand shall yet bring you the needed help!
The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy.
The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning light.
If you are one of His family, He will bind up your wounds and heal your broken heart. Do not doubt His grace because of your troubles, but believe that He loves you as much in seasons of distress, as in times of happiness. What a serene and quiet life might you lead, if you would leave providing to the God of providence!
If God cares for you, why need you care also? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens; He has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! Be done with fretful worry, and leave all your concerns in the hand of your gracious God!
