How Jesus Cares

Jesus cares about your every day life, all the little things of your life. Overall, Jesus cares for you. However, how you interpret His care is important. His caring for you doesn’t mean that you will get everything that you want just like you want. It doesn’t mean that you won’t face difficult times, or if you do face them, you can count on Jesus ridding you of them if He really cares. He cares. Your interpretation of His care must be one of faith, where you trust that He cares, first, because the Bible says He cares. You know He cares because the Bible says so. Peter writes in his first epistle (5:7), “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” It really does behoove you to believe that. It isn’t a feeling, but believing it will produce one, one of calm or peace, and not so much stress. When you know He cares, you won’t complain as much. Complaining isn’t a good Christian testimony. The word for complaining in the King James Version is “murmuring,” but Paul writes in Philippians 2:14, “Do all things without murmurings.” It is disobeying the command, “rejoice evermore.” Second, you trust He cares by considering the goodness of God’s providence. You should actively notice what God is doing and recognize it. You can find enough good things that God has done and is doing to make you a thankful person, especially as a believer. God cares for you.
