Does Jesus Care?

How many times over the course of this journey have simple truths I've been taught over and over in my life been made so vividly real? A lot!!! And this week yet another aspect of God's character was so plainly displayed.
     This week didn't start out so well for me. It also didn't start out so well for two other of my prayer partners. I won't recount this specifics, but Monday night and Tuesday were just heart-breaking days of reaching the limit of what I could take. From talking with my sister, I know Satan was winning more victories with her than she desired and poor Stephanie felt that God no longer cared for her. I poured my heart out to God and pleaded with Him for their to be an end in sight because the battle was overwhelming. And do you know what God did? He sent us another prayer warrior. Someone new to the battle, someone with fresh stamina to take up where we were faltering in the battle. I can not tell you how many times I have pleaded with God to not allow Satan to have the victory in this journey and He made sure that didn't happen. God looked down and saw how much His children needed help, needed someone to step in and help carry the load and sent us that person, and in such an unexpected way. I always post on Face Book "There was one"  when God puts a Tebow article on MSN. I do this to be an encouragement to my kids that God hasn't forgotten and to encourage them to stay faithful to their prayers. I posted one Tuesday. A friend of my sister either read the blogs about my sign from God, or she questioned my sister about the posts. However she found out what the posts mean, she did and commented that since she now knew what those posts meant, she was rooting for us and was joining our prayer team.
     Isn't God amazing?! He sent a fresh warrior into the battle at a time when three of His warriors were hurting and struggling to gain a victory. What a compassionate, loving, knowledgeable God we serve.
     Steph, you said you were going to post the lyrics to "Does Jesus Care" when I texted you, here's your answer:

"Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,

His heart is touched with my grief;

When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,

I know my Saviour cares"
