Sisters, I want you to know that God really does care about you. Wherever you are in your walk with God, He sees you and cares so deeply about you. Sometimes the enemy wreaks havoc in our minds, berating us about wrong decisions we’ve made and the circumstances in our lives that seem dire. He wants us to focus on everything that seems wrong in our lives instead of focusing on all of those things that are right and blessed. He doesn’t want us to think on any good thing, but God actually instructs us to focus on what is good. Don’t believe me? Check out Philippians 4:8 (NKJV):
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
It’s important for us to focus on what is good because if we’re not careful, we may lend an ear to the enemy and begin to believe what he’s saying when he whispers that God doesn’t really care; if He did, He wouldn’t allow things to happen to us that cause us great pain. Has the enemy ever whispered that to you? Just remember: the enemy is the father of all lies. Don’t believe him for even a second. He wants your mind distracted from what God is doing in your life so that you won’t recognize how God really is moving in your life.
I need you to hear me today: Sisters, God loves you! He has left nothing to chance concerning you. Yes, sometimes tests and trials are waiting at your doorstep. And yes, there will be days when your heart is full of tears. But God is actually counting and collecting your tears. Psalm 56:8 (NLT) says, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” He sees you at this very moment and knows everything that is going on in your life right now. He hasn’t forgotten you, and He really does have everything, and I do mean everything, under control.
