Does He Care?

Read: Matthew 6:25-34

I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. --- Galatians 2:20

The Bible In One Year:
Exodus 36-38
Matthew 23:1-22

If you are ever tempted to write yourself off as insignificant among the billions of people on earth, consider this: You are a one-of-a-kind creation of God [Psalm 139:13-14]. That's true even of identical twins. There never has been and never will be another person exactly like you.

Even more important, God values you [Matthew 6:26-30] and has gone to great lengths to show His love. The Bible says that His Son Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life for you [Galatians 2:20].

If you were to ask a loving mother of a large family which child she would be willing to give up, I'm sure she would think your question was absurd. Susannah Wesley, for example, had 19 sons and daughters. Among them were John and Charles, who spearheaded the evangelical revival in 18th-century England. Yet if you were to read the letters she wrote to each of her children, you would marvel at her concern for their unique personalities and problems. It was as if each child was her one and only offspring.

That's a picture of how much God cares about you. If you are ever tempted to wonder if He knows you exist or cares what happens to you, remember what Jesus did for you on the cross. That's how much He loves you. --- Vernon Grounds

Not the nails, but His wondrous love for me,
Kept my Lord on the cross of Calvary;
Oh, what power could hold Him there ---
All my sin and shame to bear! --- Keller

GOD LOVES YOU AS MUCH AS IF YOU WERE HIS ONLY CHILD.
