Chris.
God cares for us. Just this morning I was having a conversation with a Brother in Christ about this fact. So often when we were young Believers we had many exciting and inspiring spiritual experiences from God.
As we grow spiritually there is simply no need for us to have these experiences because in healthy spiritual growth there should be a balance between the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. However far we may be along the road of Faith as a True Believer we have this testimony that God Cares For Us.
