Feeling Forgotten?

I am comforted by Matthew 10:29, their the Lord said that not even a sparrow falls unnoticed by the Father.

If not one sparrow is forgotten before God (Luke 12:6), how much more will our Heavenly Father remember and want desperately to sustain you and me, for “ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7)

Sometimes I wonder if anyone really knows what we are going through, or for that matter if anyone really cares.

Occasionally that thought crosses my mind, but then I remember the story of Zacchæus from Luke 19:1-4, who simply wanted to see the Saviour.

You will recall that the crowd was large, so he decided to climb a sycamore tree, hoping that he’d see Jesus. “And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house” (Luke 19:5)

The Saviour knew not only his name, but also knew his heart as well, see – Luke 19:6–9.

Zacchæus was a man who was reviled, rejected, and cast out by many. But the Saviour knew him. He knew his heart, and He loved him.

Jesus Christ came into the house of Zacchæus and into his heart.

I know and believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is just as aware of you and me, remembering our individual needs, just as He was of Zacchæus, or for that matter a tiny sparrow.

I believe He even knows us more personally and intimately than we know ourselves.

His eyes are not only on the sparrows, but on you and me – always.

I know that and know that you can know that too.

Jesus Christ does love us.
