Have you ever ask your self how much do I really care about God? I asked my self and God showed me, when He called me out of darkness into His marvelous light. He deliv- ered me from all unrighteous- ness and I showed Him how much I care by not going back, Praise God!, He kept me and he cares and he showed me how much he love's me and I praise him for that. God's Love is unconditional and He cares He reminded me how He Stretched out his arms and died for all our sins. How do we show Him, we love and care for Him by keeping his Commandments and doing His will, we show Him we care when we pick-up our cross and follow Him, showing Him we know our footsteps are order by Him, we show Him we care when we feed the homeless and the help- less, when we show love one to another, we show him we care when we visit the sick and the shut in, We show him we care, when we share the word we the people of this world, the people that are still in darkness. God tell's us one will plant, one will water, but He will bring the increase, so let's show God how much we care when we forgive one another, as he has forgiven us. We show we car when we love our enemies. We show him how much we care when we pray without ceasing, when God called us out of darkness He made reservations for us in Heaven. He tell's us in Rev.22:5 "and there shall be no night there; and they need no candle , neither light of the sun;for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign for ever and ever, Lo let's show God how much we care keep our Reservation in Heaven, and tell the Lord our God thank you for Caring for US!
