It is very comforting when you find out that someone cares for you. Most of us have had a number of people who care for us. Mothers, fathers, spouses, brothers, sisters and friends are many of the people who could care for you. Some of these we expect to care for us, such as our mother and father. It is tough when a parent fails to care for us, which has happened to many times.
It really matters who the person is that cares for us. If a stranger cares for you, it is not the same as a parent or sibling. The status of a person affects the value you place on their care in your life.
Peter tells us to “cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you” (I Peter 5:7). Here we learn that God cares for us. For someone who does not know God, this is not a big deal.
God is the one who created the universe with His spoken word. He is the God who consistently cared for the Israelites when they consistently rebelled against Him. God sent His son Jesus, who is fully God, to live among us. God takes care of those who love Him and those who could care less.
When you think about who God is, the fact that He cares for you is the most important news that you could hear.
