Jesus Cares about You

"Master, carest thou not that we perish?" (Mark 4:38)

It was evening. The Disciples were on a boat with Jesus at His invitation. A great storm came and they were sinking. They awakened Jesus, who was asleep on a pillow in the back part of the boat, and asked Him the question that many people since that evening have asked Him, "Carest thou not that we perish?"

Sometimes it seems that He is staying aloof from us even in the worst of storms that threaten our survival.

Many years ago Frank E. Graff was going through some of the very things you are facing when he wrote the song, "Does Jesus Care." Look at a verse and the chorus:

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?

Chorus:

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.

Beloved, Jesus cares. Just as Jesus stilled the storm and His disciples arrived safe on shore, He can still your storm.
