The Bible tells us that God loves us and wants us to be safe and loved and cared for.

But sometimes we feel hurt, don't we?

I know I do, even as an adult.

So I know you must sometimes feel hurt too, or maybe you know people that are hurt.

Who do you know in your life that needs to be cared for?

Well, I want to tell you a story from the Bible of someone that got hurt and how God brought

someone to care for them.

Once upon a time, a man was going down the road from the city of Jerusalem to the city

of Jericho.

Suddenly, some mean robbers jumped out from behind a rock and took all of his money.

They heard him, and they left him on the road alone.

Well, pretty soon, someone came down the road.

They saw the hurt man, but pretended to ignore him and walked by on the other side of the

road.

A little while later, another person walked by.

They went over and looked at the hurt man, but decided not to help, and once more walked

by on the other side of the road.

Finally, a third person came traveling down the road towards the hurt man.

He saw the man and felt sorry for him.

He ran over and quickly cared for him by putting bandages on his wounds so he would feel better.

Then this kind stranger put the hurt man on his donkey and took him to a nearby hotel.

The kind man continued caring for the hurt man, with food, water, and more fresh bandages.
