Does he even care?

Hava lost Sweetie Pie (baby doll extraordinaire) at the end of our family trip in Mexico. A good cry is had over darling Sweetie Pie from time to time, even though it's been well over a year. Yesterday was one of those sorrowful moments for Hava.

Hava: "Mom, I asked Jesus to bring Sweetie Pie back to me."

Me: "Oh..." (not sure what to say because that would be a straight-up miracle).

Hava: "Even if I have to wait until the end of my life, I would like to have her back."

Me: "Do you think Jesus even cares about little girls?"

Hava looked me straight in the eye and said with total confidence, "Yes, He does care about me."

Me: "Oh, Hava, I'm so glad you know that for sure!"

Do you know that Jesus cares for you? That He cares about what you've lost and your private (even petty) sadness? 

Do you believe that He holds His own in His hands, and no one can snatch us away from Him? Not even ourselves!

Jesus knows Hava's deepest thoughts, needs, fears, and He knows her future.

He knows what is in her heart--and He alone can heal her wounds. I'm so glad she trusts His care!
