The wonder of it all

A few years back Point of Grace did a song called the Wonder of it All and here's part of the song.  "Feel the wonder of it all.  Let your heart and your mind receive an answer to the call.  Feel the wonder of it all.  Sweet Jesus.  The love of God- The wonder of it all."  A few days ago I was praying and thinking of one of my favorite verses.  1 Peter 5:7 "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."  I started thanking God because my mind broke down this verse to the separate parts of what it says. It says "Give all your worries and cares to God."  Not some of your worries and cares but ALL!  ALL means ALL!  There's no time frame to limit when I can come to him and pray and give things over to him.  But then you come to the why part.  Why would I give things over to God.  "For he cares about you."  All of us have parents and for the most part they're good people doing the best they know how.  They are here to be an example of God's love to his children.  Even if you haven't had the best parents if you are a Christian you have a Father in Heaven who cares for you and invites you to cast your cares and worries on him.  Here's another invitation for us.  "Then Jesus said `Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"  And one more invitation can be found in Psalms 23:2-3 "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake"  Maybe its time we stop having as many frets as a guitar shop and turn our cares over to God and trust him because He cares for us.  Let us once again get caught up in the love he has for us.  "Let us get drenched under God's good rain caught in a deluge of mercies."  I truly believe once again this needs to be spoken and sung by us as the truth of our hearts.  "I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene and wonder how he could love me a sinner condemned unclean, O how Marvelous O how wonderful!  O how Wonderful! is my Savior's love for me."
