“Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is uncared for; all the littles of our little world are thought upon by the great God.” C. H. Surgeon

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.” Mt.10 ESV

According to Jesus, not a sparrow falls from the sky apart of God's loving care. And, sparrows surely do fall from the sky. Experience and Scripture alike teach us that even suffering and death are included not excluded in God's care of every creature. Both are His appointed means to bring goodness and grace to those who trust Him. Jesus suffered, Jesus died, need we say more. Because of His death we are encouraged to not be afraid of our own. Christ was forsaken in death so that we wouldn't be. When our time comes to cross the river no grace will be withheld from us. 1/17/2011 Conversations Within ts (Gunterhill, AL)
