Throw Away Worries, Embrace His Love

UV 4167/10000 Throw Away Worries, Embrace His Love Casting all your cares ( all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares about you ( with deepest affection, and watches over you carefully). I Peter 5 v 7 It is an act of humility as well as trust to entrust all our concerns, worries, anxieties to God for it shows we are acknowledging that we cannot handle it on our own, that we believe God can and will take over our worries and handle it effectively. The basis for such trust is the love of God for each one of us. His love is absolute not relative and hence, He has come the extra billion miles for each of us in sending His Son to pay the price for our moral and spiritual failings. We just need to stand where we are in silent acknowledgement of such love, in wholehearted acceptance of His love. We are to cast both our frowns and our crowns at the feet of God. When we are in a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus, our Saviour and Sovereign, we only need to render our hearts to Him and not rend it. We only need to surrender the totality of our past, present, future, our whole being to Him, our eternity. When we do so, we have entered an O-zone – or a zone of His omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence. We are in a safe zone, a fail safe zone, a zone of total trust and zero fear. No hair of ours can fall without His specific knowledge or permission. No one can touch us or harm us for we are the apple of His eye. He is ever watching over us even when we are not vigilant or back sliding or careless. We are therefore, to cast all our earthly burdens on Him. He promises to lighten our burdens- physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, relational. Not a moment are we to waste or fritter away in bitter thought but try to get better in all things by His grace, with His constant help. He also sends the Holy Spirit to help us, encourage, enable, empower us to help us endure. With His help, we should learn from the patience, gentleness and humility of Jesus. All the words we utter as well as our inner thought needs to be positive, confessing, affirming faith in the unquenchable love of God, the overwhelming, awesome power of the Lord.
