1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
        (New International Version)

I've been finding it helpful to have a store of Bible verses in my memory, even if I have to look them up to find out where in the Bible they are:)

This morning, this verse made me realize something about my attitude towards God. I know God is good, wise and all-powerful and I expect him to act accordingly. But somewhere, deep inside me, I sort of see his goodness as impersonal. That is, as if he does things because it's the right thing to do (like me!).

Somehow I need to get it into my head that He loves me, really loves me, and that His acts towards me are motivated by love, and not merely righteousness.
