God wants us to be free in all of our day-to-day activities and interactions. He wants to unburden us from the weight this world and life attempt to make us carry.
God knows that, beyond all else, we need His kingdom in our lives. When we have His kingdom operating in our lives, we know how to cast our care on Him, we’ve learned not to be afraid of sudden fear, to let His peace reign in our hearts, and how to be still in all circumstances as we rely on His faithfulness, mercy, grace and love. And, the fruits of the Spirit are operating in our lives making life abundant and care-free. Christians have such a great salvation.
One of the greatest gifts God has for us is for us to learn how to live this life casting all our care on Him each moment of our day. Doing so enables us to live care-free and that’s a life worth living and celebrating. His salvation is so wonderful. And, it includes a care-free life.
“Oh, thank You, Jesus, for constantly reminding me to cast all my cares on You, my precious Lord.”
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength (in your inner man where we tend to take on “care”) through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Ephesians 3:16-19 New Living Translation (NLT)
What love God has for His children. He takes on all of our care and shows us how to live our daily lives trusting in His care for us. What freedom, joy and rest.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart. You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart reminding that He’s my help.*
There’s no other path like the narrow way. To know Jesus…Mmmm, that’s true salvation.
Because He lives, I can “fear not!” The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find, none others is so loving, so good and kind.*
That’s Jesus.
God bless,
Mark
