Is there a God?
Does he care?
Is he involved in our world?
Does he even know what we are going through?
Does he understand the pain, the hurt, the suffering we live in here?
These questions are really important because we, as residents of this little planet, all wonder if God is there and if he cares. We want there to be a God. We want him to care about us. We want to know he's more than just the God of creation. We want and need a God of our days, a God of our pains. We want a God who shows us he cares about US.
God's response? He came.
You may ask, "He came? What do you mean God came?" The answer is quite surprising. We might think that the sign of God's care for us would be rain, gold, food, lack of pain or a hundred other things, but the ultimate sign of God's care for us was his coming to our little planet as a man, as one of us. God became a man and lived here, lived with us, saw our pain, felt our pain, cried our tears, understood our struggles and then provided the perfect solution for it all.
Is there a God? Does he care? His answer? YES, he came. And in that coming he changed everything forever. How could one man make such a difference? How could one person living for just a few years change the world? He can if he's God and he is.
How do we know God cares? He came.

That's really deep. Hadn't ever thought of God coming as being a sign of his caring. I need to ponder that some more (not that I disagree, just need to let it sink in and think about the ramifications!). Thanks, Mike.
