God’s Comforting Love

Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

These are troubling times, both in our country and maybe in our personal lives. This scripture speaks so much with so few words. God is telling us that He loves us so much that we can unload all our worries, anxieties, and heartaches on Him. We don't have to carry the weight of our burdens alone.

The verb "cast" implies letting go. We can't cast or throw something unless we let go of it. The Lord wants us to bring our needs to Him and let go of them. He doesn't need our help. Letting go also involves trusting. We must have faith in God's love and power, that He is both willing and able.

Think of how you react to your own children. Whether they are toddlers or adults, you are deeply concerned over every detail of their lives. If they come to you with a problem or need, you listen intently and lovingly. then you do whatever you can to help them

If we deal with our own children so tenderly, being only human, how much more will God help us! We can bring all the broken pieces of our lives to Him. In His great love and wisdom, He will work out everything for the best, and weave a beautiful tapestry out of our lives.
