No Man Cared for My Soul
by Leah S. Carpenter

“…no man cared for my soul. Ps. 142:4

Let it never be said of us, that we cared not for another’s soul! Could thy co-worker, thy employer, thy neighbor say, that you cared not for their soul? Worse yet, could thy unsaved family member say so? Have you told them of the Man who so cared for their souls that he left his glory, his Father, his throne, to bear the punishment of their sins for them, that they might be freed?

Have you shared with them the blessed comfort you have had when you looked on your right hand and beheld, and there was no man that would know you, refuge failed you, and no man cared for your soul, then you looked up and beheld the Man hanging on the cross for you? The Man with arms of love opened wide, proving a sure refuge? Have you shared that that refuge may be theirs also? That this Man cares for their souls?

Christian, have you been – are you – in a situation where your fellow believers have cut you off? You have searched, but your familiar friends would not know you; they have left off caring for your soul. There is still One who cares, One Who will never fail to be a refuge for you. Look unto Jesus; fix your eyes on him. His love never fails, nor his care for your soul.

~Jesus cares for men’s souls through us~
