Verses: Luke 12 : 1 - 12
My thoughts about the verses:
People often question God about love when things are going wrong. We accuse God of not loving us and letting bad things happen. We tend to think that if God truly loved us then we would never have bad things happen in our life. The fact is that God does love us through all things. Just because we are Christians and loved by God doesn't mean that bad things will not occur.
I love the fact that Jesus points out that he knows the number of hairs on our body. Think about this moment we have a God that loves us so much that even the hair on our bodies are important. If God is willing to know that small of a detail how great our God truly is. Just because things go bad doesn't mean that God doesn't love us. It means that we are challenged with something to grow closer to God. We have to understand that the fact that we go through hard times doesn't mean we are not loved it just means that God knows that we can handle what is coming. If it is too much God will be there to help us carry the burden.
Jesus continues to point out that God protects the small sparrow. That God is there even when this small creature suffers. With this being said isn't t easy to realize that God will be there for his chosen people. Anyone that accepts God in their life is more important than the little sparrow. In fact, Christ came to set us free. This should be enough evidence that God loves us.
When things get rough do not get angry with God instead realize that God is there showing you love. No matter how hard it feels it will be okay. God will be there to help us through and we will be able to survive all things that come our way. God loves us enough to allow Jesus to die on the cross to take away our sins. This in itself is more than anyone has ever done for us. So always remember God will take care of us.
Prayer:
Thank you for loving us. Thank you for being there when things get rough. Thank you for carrying the weight that we cannot carry. Help us to focus on you so that we can always be around you and accept you for who you truly are. Help us give our struggles over to you. Help us remember your love for us. In the name of the Risen Savior we pray. Amen

Questions:
Do you understand the love of God? Do you feel protected no matter what happens in your life? Do you accept that God loves you more than anything? Do you accept that God doesn't allow things that are bad in our life?
