He Cares About You

 Casting all your anxiety on him because he cares about you (1 Peter 5:7)

You know what is the secret to being able to cast your anxieties on him? Knowing that he cares for you. If you do not believe that someone cares you will not share your anxieties and burdens with them. Knowing that God cares and values you makes a difference.

Look at the birds of the air; neither do they sow nor reap nor gather in storehouses, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than them? (Matthew 6:26-34)
Birds don't sow to have seed to eat later, they don't gather food for the winter, yet God feeds them. Look at the lilies and how they grow, not toiling nor spinning. If he cares for the birds and clothes the flowers in such glory, how much more will he value and care for you? What do you have to be anxious about if you know he cares about you?

If men being bad know how to give good things to their children how much more will God give good things to his children who ask. And if we ask for bread will he give us a stone? We know that caring for someone is loving them. We see this when Jesus asked Peter if he loved him three times. Do you love me? Take care of my sheep and lambs.

It is easy to think God doesn't care because of the circumstances of this life that he allows us to go through which are not always pleasant. But often being transformed from glory to glory is that which is revealed to us through the trial. "For I reason this; because the sufferings of the present time are not of equal value compared to the glory, that about being revealed to us" (Romans 8:18). Knowing we begin to realize that God doesn't prove that he cares for us through earthly prosperity or an easy life, but in ways more precious than silver or gold. 
he who did not spare his own son but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also graciously give together with him, give us all? (Romans 8:32)
Does God care for you? He graciously gave his son for you, who came in the fullness of the Father of grace and truth. When we were dead in our sins he was rich in mercy through his great love. God chose you in love. To love him with all your being is the greatest commandment because it is his greatest desire: to love and care for you.

Loving him begins with knowing him, his love, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins" (1 John 4;10). He cares, he is working out all things for our good, to those called according to his purpose, to those "loved of him." He loves and cares about you.

Those He Calls He Equips

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen . Hebrews 13:20-21 When God calls us he equips us, the God of Peace, the one who brought us from the dead by the blood of the Eternal Covenant, will equip you so to do his will. So in this concept of being equipped, we see the calling being irrevocable. "For it is God who works in you to Will and to act on behalf of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 God called you, he's working in you equipping you to work on behalf of his good pleasure. "So that the man of God may be complete fully equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17 . In Hebrews 12 we read God disciplines those he loves, so that we share in his holy character, as the scriptures

Children of God

but as many as receiving him to them he gave the right to become children of God, the ones believing in his name, the ones born not from blood nor from fleshly will nor from a husband's will, rather from God (John 1:12-13) Something really significant happened in regard to the kingdom of God when Jesus came. When Jesus began his ministry he made this statement to Israel, " Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand ." It is really a statement to Israel to turn, and repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Things are changing in regard to the kingdom. I truly tell you, unless a person is born from above, he is not of the kingdom of God (John 3:3) Not of the kingdom of God is the same as saying not being children of God. Being born from above is the same as saying being born from God of the Spirit. What changed significantly in the new covenant is how one enters the kingdom of God; through being born anew.  Born gain is what some translate this word as. Nicodemus certa
