Luke 12:6-7 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Who cares for us more than God? No one. Too often, we judge whether or not God loves us based on what happens to us or how others treat us. Can I say this one thing? It does not matter what the circumstances are, or who we encounter (and their attitude toward us), or even what we think of ourselves, God cares for us, and loves us. His love for us is unwavering, even at our worst. This doesn't mean that He's always pleased with our actions, attitude, or words, but His caring for us, and love for us is unchanging. After all, He died for us while we were yet His enemies. How much more does He love us as His children? Think about it. He provides for the birds. They have no place to live, nor do they work to earn money, yet He provides them shelter, and food. Not one falls from the sky without His knowledge or outside of His watchful eye. How much more will He take care of us who were created in His image? That's right. When everyone else fails us, even those we love most, our God remains faithful (even when we are unfaithful to Him). God does not think as man thinks, and does not hold a grudge as man does. He proves time, and time again, that He is merciful toward us, that He is forgiving, and loving. We are His most important creation. So much so, that He laid down His life for us. What else must He do to prove His love? I'd say that He has done more than enough, and more than we deserve to prove it. Let us thank Him for who He is in our life, and for His love for us. Then, let us find someone to share that love with; someone who needs it, today. I'm sure we won't have to look very far to find someone who is lonely, and hurting, with whom to share the love of Christ.
