Does God care if I'm sad? Look at the tear-streaked face of Jesus as he stands near Lazarus's tomb.

If you knew Jesus was returning tomorrow, how would you feel today? Anxious, afraid, unprepared? If so, you can take care of your fears by placing your trust in Christ. If your answer includes words like happy, relieved, and excited, hold tightly to your joy.

First, God does not send people to hell. He simply honors their choice. Hell is the ultimate expression of God's high regard for the dignity of man. He has never forced us to choose Him, even when that means we would choose Hell.

Your pain has a purpose. Your problems, struggles, heartaches, and hassles cooperate toward one end-the glory of God.

You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you.

What to change your life? Begin by saying, "The Lord is my shepherd."

Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.
