He Cares For You

1 Peter 5:7b "He cares for you." ~Simeon Peter


Matthew 6:26 "Are you not of more value than they [the birds]?" ~Jesus


Can a materialistic world care for you? No, a materialistic world is impersonal. It is made up of matter, not personality. Can we get our value from a materialistic world? No, for the same reasons.

Is it not disturbing to you that when you were in school, you were pumped full of the knowledge that you have no value? There is no Person that created the universe who cares for you? It disturbs me! What would my life have been like if I was taught there was a personal God who made everything I saw, including me. All that I could see had a purpose behind it. I was created for a purpose.

Let the words of Peter sink into your soal this morning. God cares for you. He actually cares for you! God's Son, Jesus the Christ, tells you that you have value. You are cared about and valued. Even if every person you know shows you no concern or care, God cares for you. Even if none of your thoughts, none of your actions, nothing you do is valued by others. God values you. Oh, what a sweet truth to spend your morning meditating upon.
