1 Peter 5:6-7, "...casting all your care upon HIM, for HE cares for you..." How can I cast my cares upon HIM unless I have absolute confidence that JESUS really knows me and cares for me? How can HE be so interested and involved in the details of my life? Besides, HE is too busy with major events of the world for me to bother HIM with my problems. As soon as I said that, I just showed I don't really believe that JESUS cares for me. "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. HE knows every sparrow that falls to the ground, you are of more value than many sparrows" (Luke 12:7). John 10:3, 14, "HE calls HIS sheep by name." Isaiah 43:1, "I know your name, you are MINE." HE knows my name; HE knows the number of hairs in my head (now have you ever counted the hairs in the head of the one you love?) MY PRAYER: FATHER, I want to believe you are truly concerned about the details of my life, help me have just a glimpse of the heart of JESUS and not generalize HIS love for me. LORD, I going to try it: please help know how to cast my cares upon YOU and direct my paths. MY THOUGHT? Instead of me asking why, I am just going to choose to thank you for your awesome answers. WHAT DID I WRITE? GOD cares for me and HIS love for me is personal, detailed and in-depth. WHAT AM I MEDITATING ON? JESUS knows and cares for me and you! Psalm 139: 23-24 Isaiah 43:1 GOD IS GOD!

Matthew 8:2-3, "...LORD, if YOU are willing, YOU can make me clean...Then JESUS put out HIS hand and touched him..." The leper stank with bodily decay and yet JESUS "put out HIS hand and touched him". Without flinching, JESUS touched him, healing him of not just leprosy, but also the emotional scars that he had received from years of rejection. Whatever GOD has put in your heart, HE says, "I AM WILLING"! We see the blessings received by others and wonder what they did to get their blessings. STOP being occupied by your own disqualifications and be completely absorbed in HIS love and grace (unmerited FAVOR) toward you! PRAYER: JESUS, you died to heal me from my unbelief. Thank you that my imperfections and failings don't disqualify me. JESUS, on the Cross has already qualified me. Thank YOU for the blessings that YOU have already lined up for me today! THOUGHT FOR THE DAY? GOD can and IS WILLING to do it for ME! MEDITATE (SPEAK IT OUT LOUD) ALL DAY: JESUS is willing to do it for me; HE wants me to be like HIM.
