*Sneak Peak of Book 1*
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.” —Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
Jesus is calling His own, by name… to come to Him, to hear His voice, to follow Him… to know Him… and to become like Him… which is a lifelong, relational journey.
Everything Jesus did—from forming us into existence, to leaving heaven and all its perfection and coming in to our broken world, to redeeming us by laying down His own life—reveals His care.
All of the ways of Jesus… and all the responses of Jesus… are a testament to His holy care.
Care is the essence of all His characters that we experience: mercy, compassion, forgiveness, provision, protection, guidance, intentionality, kindness, consistency, tenderness, approachability, availability, humility…
This truth is a key to healing, deliverance, victory and revival in our identities, relationships, families and discipleship.
See that the world is crying out for care…
Looking to be comforted, strengthened protected and known…
Desiring to be responded to… (because God made us to be repeatedly responded to)… in a way that communicates: “You are precious and worthy to be loved.”
All insecurity and fear… all the stress, anxiety and depression that is trying to hijack a generation’s brains, identities and relationships… could be disarmed and calmed as soon as they were met by the care of Jesus.
Jesus cares… not just with perfect compassion… but in the fullness of wisdom.
And that is what we all need. To experience the wisdom of His care.
Not just when we’re facing the greatest storms, going through the lowest lows… but moment-to-moment.
Because God designed us to be continually kept safe… continually heard… continually comforted… continually delighted in… continually tended…
By a primary caregiver who sees, knows, values and meets our needs.
This is the cycle we are all born into. And this is the cycle that Jesus redeems
and fulfills.
Because the care of Jesus interrupts cycles of fear, insecurity and shame—and gives access to cycles of trust, security and true worth.
The care of Jesus establishes and restores foundations.
The care of Jesus liberates captives, heals the brokenhearted and releases prisoners.
The care of Jesus renews our minds.
The care of Jesus settles our stress system.
The care of Jesus makes peace.
The care of Jesus leads us to and keeps us on the Narrow Way.
The care of Jesus gives the fullness of life…
And life is found in relationship… specifically, relationship based in trust.
This revelation will change generations.
BEHOLD Jesus, the Perfect Caregiver.
