The child of God who wants to please the Lord will learn to be humble and allow God to have the place or preeminence in his or her life, Col. 1:18.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
[7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus and leave them there.
One day after preaching at a gospel crusade, Charles Weigle came home to find a note from his wife. She did not like being an evangelist's wife and was leaving him.
The next few despairing years He even wondered if anyone
really cared for him.
After a time, his faith was restored and he became active for the Lord again.
During this time he shared the feelings he had experienced In the Hymn:
"No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus."

“I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus — Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true; — I would tell you how He changed my life completely — He did something that no other friend could do.
Chorus:
“No one ever cared for me like Jesus; — There's no other friend so kind as He; — No one else could take the sin and darkness from me — O how much He cared for me!
“All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me; — All my heart was full of misery and woe; — Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me, — And He led me in the way I ought to go.
“Every day He comes to me with new assurance, — More and more I understand His words of love; — But I'll never know just why He came to save me, — Till some day I see His blessed face above.”
Charles Weigle
