7. The load of ill health The load of ill health The load of unemployment… economic hardship. The load of unemployment… economic hardship. The load of relationship breakdown…caring for a hurting partner. The load of relationship breakdown…caring for a hurting partner. The load of guilt…rejection…abandonment… of loneliness. The load of guilt…rejection…abandonment… of loneliness.

8. This verse clearly states that God in Jesus makes sure we are taken care of! Not only that but He takes us into His very loving arms and holds us close to His heart. Imagine holding a new born baby. They are so fragile but you carry them and hold them close to you and you love them.

9. Now imagine God doing that with us. It’s amazing because His love never fails and His love sustains us. We are human beings, when we are faithless, He is still faithful. Let God love you. Let Him mend your broken heart. Give Him a chance to hold you in His arms and close to His heart and see what He’ll do. Will you let Him?

10. FOR If God is all you have, you have all you need.
