He cares

"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall."

Psalm 55:22

Warning: I think this may be the start of a series.

I know I've said it before, but I really mean it this time!

I simply can't understand how some people get to the point in their life where they make devastating decisions which drastically affects the lives of others.

Well, I guess I know the root of it anyway. One phrase sums it up- believing lies and falling into sin as a result.

Several times throughout the past few weeks, I've heard of some saddening and unfortunate situations that hit just a little too close to home.

But more than that, they hit especially close to my heart.

I don't know why, but for some reason, God has given me the gift (if you want to call it that) of carrying people's burdens.

When I hear about a hurting individual, it makes my heart ache and I can't help but call out to our loving Father on their behalf.

Thoughts of them overtake far less pressing matters.

When this happens, I can't help but think that He cares even more than I do.

What a comfort to know that He has ALL things in control at ALL times in ALL seasons of our lives and He will see us through. That thought alone brings me comfort and I hope it does to you as well.

*As far as the series goes, I may make a few alterations so please bear with me. At this point, I think I may be sharing the ways in which God cares- in my own life and through other examples, including some from the Bible.

So tonight rest in His promise that...He cares!
