Peter addresses our universal reaction to pain; all kinds of pain and how the believer in Christ can rest in Him and draw on Christ's unfailing, ineffable resources of grace, mercy and love.
Peter shares from his own experience how hard it can be to present ourselves as a sacrifice for those we care for.
Obedience that please God is always a believing obedience meaning, we know what God has said, we believed what He said and we act in obedience because of His love.
You may say, "what does this have to do with caregiving?" Well, keep listening.
