JESUS CARES! - Matthew 6:26 - Daily-E-Votional  

                  DAILY-E-VOTIONAL
                  BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART

                  "JESUS CARES!"
                  Matthew 6:26

                  "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap
or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you
not much more valuable than they?"



                  Where is God when I have great need and my heart is
breaking? Does He really care about my personal struggles? Does He care
that I feel as if I am at the end of my rope? Does He care when the one who
is dearest to me dies?

                  Frank Graeff was a minister who had the reputation for
always being happy, optimistic and had a sunny disposition. In the spite of
his normally up-beat nature, he was called upon to endure severe trials in
his life. 

                  It was while he was going through one of these ordeals
that he wrote the words of today's hymn. The promise he found in 1 Peter
5:7 was especially meaningful to him: "Cast all your anxiety on Him because
He cares for you." Think of his struggles and finding hope as you enjoy
this week's hymn. The music was composed by J. Lincoln Hall. 

                    "Does Jesus Care?"

                    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?

                    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 I've tried and failed
                    To resist some temptation strong;
                    When for my deep grief there is no relief,
                    Though my tears flow all the night 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 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?

                    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.
