SOMEONE CARES
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:6, 7)
When all physical aid has failed us and every effort of man has spent itself in arduous labor to save our loved one from leaving us—SOMEONE CARES.
When others go about their daily tasks unmindful of that empty aching feeling in our hearts seeing not the tears that wet our pillows—SOMEONE CARES.
When dearest friends have long since forgotten and even our young, life-seeking children have buried their grief in new horizons, and emptiness still tugs at our hearts—SOMEONE CARES.
When in the years to come well-meaning friends unwittingly stir the cinders of the past, thinking surely we have forgotten—SOMEONE CARES.
And this SOMEONE knows what suffering is; He knows the broken heart, for His was broken. He knows the forsaken life, for His was forsaken so that we might have eternal life—Oh, yes—SOMEONE CARES.
SOMEONE who sees beyond this brief span of life and has prepared, for those who love Him, a mansion in eternity where no tears shall wet our cheeks nor death close its doors on loved ones—SOMEONE CARES.
SOMEONE who said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die”—SOMEONE CARES.
JESUS CHRIST is that SOMEONE WHO CARES. He is able to take our hands out of the clasp of the cold hand of death and lift us softly across, placing our hands in the hands of loved ones who have gone before us —TRULY, SOMEONE CARES.
