Redeemed & Beloved

...for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. 1 Chronicles 28:9

We often judge others by what we see on the outside. Aren't you glad Jesus doesn't see us that way? He loves us regardless of how we look, where we’re from or what we have done. He sees everyone through the eyes of love and compassion. He looks beyond faults and addresses our need. That's why He met the woman at the well. He knew her emptiness, He knew she had five husbands and the one she was living with wasn't even married to her. (John 4)

He searches every heart. He is interested in our lives, what we go through, the hurts we hide, the brokenness, the pain and the disappointments. He wants to help you. He wants to reach out to you. He loves you.  Aren’t you glad He doesn’t see us as man does? 

Matthew 2:1-2, 5-6 NLT 2 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”

5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote:

Psalm 103:14

Acts 2:25 (NLT) - King David said this about Him:

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. (Psalm 34:15)

God cares very deeply about you, and is attentive to every detail of your life—even those things that burden your heart.

1 Peter 5:7 says that you should cast "all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you." Isn't it comforting to know that Jesus cares about you! It may seem like your life has been shaken to the core, but His love for you is never shaken.
