I think a lot of people don’t believe in God because they are told that He cares about them. It’s unbelievable. Too far-fetched.
I have a lot of thoughts. Things I worry about, wonder about, decide, and imagine. This happens all day long, every day. And this has been going on for decades! How could a Being exist that could care about me and all these thoughts and problems, successes and failures?
And I’m just one person.
There are currently over 8.2 billion people alive today. Each of them have their own thoughts, worries, joys, and fears. How could a Being exist that could be aware of each and every person let alone care about them and their ideas and dreams?
And that’s just what’s happening now.
People have come and gone, had fears and woes, lived and died for thousands and thousands of years. All of those long gone people, as well as people yet to be born, have their own challenges, accomplishments, loves, and griefs. How could any Being exist that had the capacity to pay attention to, comprehend, and care about all that noise? How is that possible? It boggles the human brain.
“…casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7, CSB)
And yet, the Bible says it’s true. God cares deeply about every little thing that happens to me. He cares about all the details of your life, too. He cares about everyone who ever existed and those yet to be born. He knows, He listens, He understands, He loves, and He cares. It feels impossible. But with God, the timeless Creator of the universe, all things are possible.
Dear God, you are amazing. I don’t understand how you care, but I’m so glad that you do. You are God, the God of Impossible Caring.
