Does Jesus Care?

"Does Jesus care, when I've said goodbye to the dearest on earth to me? When my sad heart aches, till it nearly breaks, is it aught to Him? Does He see? Oh yes, He cares! I know He cares! His heart is touched with my grief..."

Here at the Podolls there is a collection of little glass bottles of various shapes and sizes. Everytime I see them I am reminded of the verse which talks about God collecting each of our tears in a bottle. What an awesome thought... God knows about and saves each one of my tears!!! Yet, I think about all the tears that I DON'T shed... the ones that are so deep in my heart that no one (except Jesus) can see. Does God see those and save those in a bottle? I verily believe that He does. I hope that He does, because I have cried barrels and buckets of those "hidden tears." I think I am crying them now... Lord Jesus, please collect them and heal my hurting heart!

We will be attending yet another funeral sometime in the next week. My Aunt Stacy passed away this morning in her sleep; cause of death is as yet undetermined. Pray for us... pray that the Lord will be glorified and that family members will be saved through this!

"...when the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I KNOW my Savior cares!"
