Կիսվել

So keep being alert and ready at all times. For I promise you that the Son of Man will surprise you and appear when you don’t expect him.”

As you passionately seek his kingdom, above all else, he will supply your needs.

Speaking to the people, Jesus continued, “Be alert and guard your heart from greed and from always wishing for what you don’t have. For your life can never be measured by the amount of things you possess.”

Where you deposit your treasure, that is where you fix your thoughts—and your heart will long to be there also.”

“Does worry add anything to your life? Can it add one more year, or even one day?

Jesus taught his disciples, saying, “Listen to me. Never let anxiety enter your hearts. Never worry about any of your needs, such as food or clothing.

“What is the value of your soul to God? Could your worth be defined by any amount of money? God doesn’t abandon or forget even the small sparrow he has made. How then could he forget or abandon you? What about the seemingly minor issues of your life? Do they matter to God? Of course they do! So you never need to worry, for you are more valuable to God than anything else in this world.

So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!

Take the carefree birds as your example. Do you ever see them worry? They neither grow their own food nor put it in a storehouse for later. Yet God takes care of every one of them, feeding each of them out of the abundance of his love and goodness. Isn’t your life more precious to God than a bird? Be carefree in the care of God!

I repeat: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs.

If God can clothe the fields and meadows with grass and flowers, can he not clothe you as well, O struggling one with so many doubts?

Everything hidden and covered up will soon be exposed. For the facade is falling down, and nothing will be kept secret for long.
