I want to dedicate this brief post to anyone who has lost a loved one and questioned your faith. You know that you love the Lord and all that He has done in your life, but does He care what you are going through in your time of grief? The older I get, the more I understand the meaning of scripture and the words to these songs and how they apply to me and my life.
It has been 67 years since I lost my mother and my young faith was shaken to its core. Our young preacher assured me I would be with her again some day and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I survived and grew stronger. When my wife of 50 years went to heaven ahead of me nine years ago, I was lost without her but my faith that we will reunite again is firm now. This is the song that answers that toughest question.
Does Jesus care when I’ve said, “Goodbye”To the dearest on earth to meAnd my sad heart achesTill it nearly breaksIs it aught to Him? Does He see?,
Oh, yes, He cares, I know He caresHis heart is touched with my griefWhen the days are wearyThe long night drearyI know my Savior cares
