One day I had a thought about fruit. I missed fruit in my diet, and because I didn't have the money to buy some right then, it was just a wish in my heart. As I was walking the same route I walk most days to go to the library, I walked past a woman who had just come out of her car, and she was taking out groceries and bags from her car. She looked up at me, and said hello. I said hello and kept on walking. While I was walking past her, she stood straight up for a few moments, as if in thought, then she looked toward me and asked, "would like some fruit?", and she started to hand the bag to me. For a moment I was stunned, and just looked at her, and then I said, "why yes, I would", and she handed me the bag. I thanked her and started on my way again to the library.

I was amazed at how God does things; he heard my need and answered my 'prayer'. It had not been a prayer, just a wishful thought, because He knew that I could not supply myself with what I wanted and needed; He made a way out of no way. He has helped me tremendously over the last 5 years, while the economy has been upside down. He takes care of my needs, and gives me hope for some things that I don't have right now. He is a caring, generous, merciful God - What I wouldnt do for a God like that, a God that I love!

We need to focus on God when everything else seems upside down. We must show our love and devotion to him, through prayer, worship, singing and praise. We need to meditate on His word, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts, for no one can transform us like He can, and give us peace, love, and hope. Hope is so essential in life, that every self help technique ever invented was created to give people a positive outlook on life to cling to as a version of 'hope', but hope starts when you realize that you are loved and valued by your creator, that He cares about you and loves you just the way you are.

If you are wondering why He cares so much, the only answer that I have is, that is who He is. He is love, and He cannot help but love you, yes even with all your faults, He will love you forever. And that is why I am willing to do what it takes to be with my Lord, for there will never be anyone else who will love me more!
