Does Jesus Care?

I remember times while praying for a need, Satan told me Jesus didn’t care.  It was a dirty trick — anything to stifle my faith. But Jesus does care.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

When we give Jesus all the good, bad or ugly of our burden, we will find absolute confidence that He cares for us.

Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

[16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Did you know that our burdens touch the heart of God, and He is moved on our behalf.

Have faith in Him.

“Does Jesus care when my heart is pained. —  Too deeply for mirth or song,  —  As the burdens press, and the cares distress. —  And the way grows weary and long?

Refrain
“Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,  — His heart is touched with my grief;  —  When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,  —  I know my Savior cares.

“Does Jesus care when my way is dark — With a nameless dread and fear?  —  As the daylight fades into deep night shades,  —  Does He care enough to be near?

“Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed. —  To resist some temptation strong;  —  When for my deep grief I find no relief,  —  Though my tears flow all the night long?

“Does Jesus care when I've said, "goodbye";  —  To the dearest on earth to me,  —  And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,  —  Is it aught to Him? Does He see?”
