Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so- For love is all they're looking for, And in a small child's shining eyes The faith of all the ages lies- And tiny hands and tousled heads that kneel in prayer by little beds Are closer to the dear Lord's heart And of His kingdom more a part Than we who search, and never find, the answers to our questioning mind- For faith in things we cannot see requires a child's siplicity For, lost in life's complexities, we drift upon uncharted seas And slowly faith disintegrates while wealth and power accumulate- For the more man learns, the less he knows, and the more involved his thinking grows And, in his arrogance and pride, no longer is man satisfied To place his confidence and love with childlike faith in God above- O Father, grant once more to men a simple childlike faith again And, with a small child's trusting eyes, may all men come to realize that faith alone can save man's soul and lead him to a higher goal © Helen Steiner Rice

Some of you know that I care for an elderly couple. I watch over them diligently. I am always on guard ready to protect them. I hover over the lady just like she was my baby! That is the way God is with us. He never slumbers or sleeps and is constantly watching  over us and protecting us!  He knows our every need, even before we ask! He longs to hear our voices as we pray!  God is always there to catch us if we fall! He loves us in spite of our sins! He is never too busy to hear our prayers or dry our tears! He delights in our joys and longs to comfort us in our sorrow. So, the next time you wake up in the middle of the night, let Him draw you close to His side. Know that He is really there. He loves you and will always care.
