Nobody Loves me; Nobody Cares – Almost

By Lowell Ford

Things don’t care.

Tobacco and drugs don’t; Alcohol doesn’t; sports don’t; self-worship and gratification doesn’t; illicit sex doesn’t; money and pleasure don’t love me or care.

Electronic devices (machines) can help or destroy me; they cannot care. Television doesn’t; video games don’t; the internet doesn’t; computers don’t.

People, in a limited way, may care; parents may not; friends may not; school or government leaders may not; counselors may only say they care; people may not really love me or care.

My eternal damnation is Satan’s only care. My ruin is the occult’s only care; my spiritual failures are materialism’s only care; false religions cannot love me and cannot care.

No object —no machine, no false deity cares or loves me. People may do their best, but I’m still empty. What now?

God loves and cares about me, and my soul. Just Jesus, the Only begotten Son of God cared enough about me to die and save my soul, and to fill my emptiness; He’s waiting at my heart’s door to love and care about me.

I’ll ask Jesus for further spiritual direction, and help in my new life with Him. Reading the Holy Bible is a good start.
