He cares for you

Where do you take disappointments?

You have shared them with relatives, friends, and neighbors. But, you have never taken them to God.

In his letter to the Jewish Christians dispersed outside of Palestine, James, a servant of and brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, wrote:

“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms,” James 5:13.

Before you go anywhere else with your troubles and disappointments, go to God.

Perhaps, you do not want to bother God with your cares. You think he has got enough wars and famines in the world to tend to; he will not have time to care about your hurts. If that is your mindset, then I think you should let him decide.

There is no doubt in my mind that if Jesus cared so much about a wedding that He provided the wine; cared so much about a centurion dying servant that he healed him; and cared so much about Cornelius, that He sent Peter to minister to Cornelius, then, He cares for you too.

Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

He chose the nails

When it was time for the solders to place Jesus on the cross, He never flinches. He could have used His supreme power to free Himself, but He didn’t. And though He had the option to call ten thousand angels to set Him free, He chose the nails.
Friends, there is no limit to God’s love. What He did on Calvary was not for a particular group of people. It was for me, you and the entire world. He made sure no one was excluded.

13 Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Nobody–Casting Crowns

Nobody-Casting Crowns

Show us Christ

Every Church has at least two Corneileous. Are you one?
Acts chapter 10 talks about an uncircumcised gentile who was living in Caesarea. His name was Cornelius. And he was a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He prayed to God daily and gave generously to those in need.

By all standard, Corneileous was a good man. But something was lacking in his life. He had not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he did not know Christ.

There are many good people in the Church, but being good is not enough to get anybody into heaven.
