Unload On God. Hurl Your Cares On Him.

God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (CEV)

Unload on Him all your cares.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (French Translation Bible)

Hurling all your cares upon Him.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (Greek)

Happy is the soul that is not uneasy.

My Lord, help me to be always trusting with my mind fastened on You. I don't ever want to be troubled thinking You don't care for me. I want to be anxious about nothing, but continuously believing that You are totally trustworthy, yes, that You care for me at all times and in all circumstances of life. Indeed, I desire to live by faith and to die in faith. In Jesus' name. Amen.

During our Bible School days, 1992-1994, my wife, Kim, and I raised our then small children on this family theme song from 1 Peter 5:7. We often sang it during trying times. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it still:



ALL JOY! no fear!

If I Go... I Will Come Back!

I awoke with seven words running refreshingly through my mind today:

If I go... I will come back!

Yes, these seven words were spoken by Jesus in John's Good News record:

(1) “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me.(2) My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am."
-- John 14:1-3 (NIV)

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Twelve Miracle-Working Words

I believe there are twelve (simple but profound) miracle-working words that when spoken from the deepest places of a sorrowful heart can restore almost any troubled relationship:

I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you.

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
