Does Jesus Care?

Child of God,

May you, above all,

Know this:

Jesus cares.

More than we can know.

He cares.

He cares about the smallest ripple of pain

And the seismic storms of your life.

He cares.

When the winds and the waves

Barraged the boat

On the Galilean Sea in the dark

The disciples cried aloud in their panic:

“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38)

The question, of course,

Drips with irony.

“Not care?”

Then why did He shed His heavenly raiment

And become a servant in the flesh?

“Not care that we are perishing?”

It was the whole purpose of His coming!

He came to seek and save the lost!

So, the Savior roused from his nap,

Rubbed His eyes, stretched His arms

And rebuked the storm …

Because He cares.

More than we can know.

He cares.
