Does Anyone Care?

You are asking this question because you feel alone. Maybe no one seems to know you are alive. Or, if they do, they act as if they do not care.

Does anybody care about you?

Oh, yes. Even if your parents, your classmates, your co-workers, your neighbors, and no one else seems to care about you, Someone cares.

That Someone is a lot more powerful than all those people who do not care about you. And a lot more loving.

That Someone created you precisely because that Someone cared about you. You are not a random collection of molecules and cells. You are a person who matters very much to the Someone Who made you to be you.

Who is that Someone? He goes by many names.

By the way, He is not an accurate term because it refers to gender. The Great Creator created gender. He is beyond gender. But we will use the term "He" because it is an accepted term in discussing the Great Creator.

"He" also refers to a most important relationship with the Great Creator. The Great Creator wants us to call Him "Father." Father defines a relationship. A father not only fathers us by giving us physical life. A father is also supposed to protect, nurture, teach, provide for, and love his children. Your own father may not have done those things so it may be difficult for you to call the Great Creator "Father." If so, then call Him "Abba." It means the same thing but the term may not bring with it bad feelings like the word father may bring for you.

We said that the Great Creator, the Someone Who cares, goes by many names. Religion is the study of the Great Creator. Many different religions exist in the world. They all have different names for the Great Creator. Is it possible to know which religion is the right one? That is another heavy question!

But right now we are not asking that question. We are asking if anyone cares about you. And we said that the Great Creator, the Someone Who made you, Abba, does care. He cared enough to make you. He cares enough to work in your life. He cares enough to bring good out of whatever is happening to you now.

You are loved because Abba cares about you, nurtures you, teaches you, provides for you. He brought you to these pages so you could learn about Him. Even if no one else seems to care, He does. Abba has a purpose for your life. What is it? That is another heavy question!
