God Cares For You

God cares for you so much
and His love won’t miss a single detail!
 
 
If God cares so wonderfully for flowers
that are here today and  gone tomorrow,
won’t He more surely care for you?

When the Good Shepherd Speaks to His Own

and God, even our Father,
which hath loved us,
and hath given us everlasting consolation
and good hope through grace,
comfort your hearts,
and establish you in every good word and work.

One Night a Man Had a Dream

One night a man had a dream.

He was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
In each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one made by him, and the other by the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the worst times in his life.

This bothered him very much, so he asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you’d walk with me all the way.
But I’ve noticed that during times of trouble,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why you left me
when I needed you the most.”

The Lord answered, “My precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial,
when you see only one set of footprints,
that’s when I was carrying you.”

Even the Strongest of Us

 
Even the strongest of us
have moments
when the burdens of life
seem too great.
It’s then that the Lord
whispers to our hearts…
Come to Me,
all you who are weary
and  burdened,
and I will give you rest.
