Sept 22.99: Light For The Day - "God Has Time For You"

"Cast all your anxieties on him,
for he cares about you."
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (RSV)

------------------------

Some people ask, "Do you think God has time
for me? You don't know how mixed up my life
is, how confused it is; the pressures,
the tension at home, the business problems,
so many things I couldn't possibly tell you about,
including the sins in my life that I somehow
cannot seem to give up. 

"Yes, God has time for you. when Jesus was
dying on the cross, He had time for a thief who
turned to Him and said, "LORD, remember me." 

That's all the record tells us that the thief said,
"LORD, remember me." But what he was really
saying was, "I'm unworthy. I' ve broken all the laws.
I deserve hell. Just remember me." And Jesus
turned to him in that moment and said,
"Today you will be with me in Paradise."

-- Billy Graham (DbD)

Prayer:
Even in Your greatest suffering, LORD Jesus,
You had time to assure another of Your love.
My heart is comforted to know this caring for
my soul is infinite.

"Have no anxiety about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known to God."
-- Philippians 4:6 (RSV)
