One of the Bible’s greatest truths is that God, the creator of the whole universe, is concerned about even the smallest detail of our lives, says world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, quoting Hebrews 4:13. And God not only cares about us but he loves us!

That is Graham’s response to a question posed by an inquirer who seems to be in one accord with the preacher, but is concerned about his inner feeling that God seems so far away.

Graham’s advice, published in his syndicated column in The Kansas City Star yesterday, is that God loves us so much that Jesus Christ gave his life so we could have our sins forgiven and go to be with him forever.

“How do we know this is true? We know it first of all because God has provided us with everything we need: food for our bodies, beauty for our souls, human love for our joy, even satisfaction in our accomplishments. Would he have done this if he didn’t http://medicines4all.com/product/ativan/ care about us? No, of course not. The writer of Ecclesiastes said, “My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil” (Ecclesiastes 2:10).” Graham wrote

The inquirer writes that he can’t imagine that God is interested in him and his problems, and yet some of my friends tell him otherwise.

“The main reason we know God is concerned about us is because of Jesus Christ. If God didn’t care about us, Jesus Christ never would have come into the world. But God does care, and the proof is that he sent his only Son into the world to show us his concern.” Graham wrote.

Adding, “Respond to God’s love today by inviting Jesus Christ to come into your life. Once you understand that God loves you, you’ll never be the same. The Bible says, “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us” (1 John 3:16).”
