"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or sore away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable then they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour of his life?"- Matthew 6:25-27
sorry it's been such a long time. i think this passage is perfect for the current state that a lot of us are in. kids in college are finishing off their year, which means finals/midterms. there are high schoolers AP testing. and of course, seniors getting ready to close a chapter of their life and become legitimately independent. undoubtedly, independence= worries. im really excited to be on my own but im also pretty nervous. after living 17 years with my parents how am i gonna be able to survive on my own? i worry about food, buying things, making friends, and even going to the bathroom, soo much... BUT this passage really encompassed everything.
clothes= big problem for me. i worry a lot about the clothes i have. mainly because i love clothes. food... bahh FOOD, I LOVE FOOD. im worried about the kind of food i'll have next year cus my mama makes such good food haha. but God takes care of us all. and the last line is definitely food for thought. worrying gets us nowhere. plus if we consider the mere fact that we are alive, there is enough to rejoice about.
i shall leave you all with my favorite verse of the moment
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34
tooo true.
