"He cares for yours."

 Luís Alberto Alves/Hourpress

The Word of God in the book of Psalms says that "He cares for yours." Sometimes, because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we forget the Lord's care for our lives. Today, especially young people, are preoccupied with technology and overlook how much Jesus loves us.

This Saturday, September 20th, I felt God's great love in my life, deep down. I was passing a large construction site in the capital of São Paulo, when suddenly a huge pit bull came rushing toward me and jumped on my chest.

Head

I couldn't muster any defensive reaction because of its speed. I didn't even try to defend myself with a kick or even a punch against this animal, which weighed over 50 kg. My reaction was to place both hands on its head and say kind words, just as I do with the little dog I have at home.

I asked, and it sat down. It began to run its nose over my belly, then began to gently bite my left hand. He stayed by my side for several minutes. He enjoyed the affection I gave him. Then he saw another person approaching and rushed angrily to attack him. Three men rushed to the person's aid to prevent the worst from happening. But with me, it was God who protected me. The Lord did not allow the enemy to use that animal to harm me. To Him be all glory.
