Someone Cares for You
Author: Pastor Claude Thomas
Pearl Bailey, the famed singer, said, “What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.”
It is true. I once read that the Classified section of a newspaper placed an ad that read:
“I will listen to you talk for thirty minutes without comment for $5.”
An amazing thing happened. The person who placed the ad received ten to twenty calls a day. They were so lonely they wanted someone to just listen. (Laurie, Life Questions, p.19).
People truly want someone to care for them. Why is that? Well, here are some reasons as stated by some people we may recognize.
Billy Graham said, “Love is to the heart what summer is to the farmer’s year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.”
Zig Ziglar said, “Love is the highest, purest, most precious of all spiritual things. It will draw out from men their magnificent potential.”
Thomas a’ Kempis, “Whoever loves much, does much.”
Hannah Moore, “Love never reasons but profusely gives…”
Lydia Marie Child, “The cure for all ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity all lie in one word love. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.” (All quotes from Speaker’s Sourcebook II)
Ever wonder if anyone cares about you? Remember this “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
