hiding away under my covers. away from world.
i want to go in the corner and never come out.
it's too scary out there... having to face the harsh, cold reality.
but i'm not a little child anymore. i'm an adult now.
the real world is scary and challenging.
watching my parents ... the adults ... i don't want to be like them.
its always money. money. money.
why do people worry so much about money?
yes, money feeds you.
clothes you.
gives you shelter.
buys you sparkly pretty things.
but its only temporary.
it only temporarily fixes your needs that are right in front of you.
why would you want that?
why not something that's everlasting?
money breaks apart families.
money kills.
money leads to pride.
money boasts.
money separates you from what you truly need.
so people, don't turn your eyes to other things like money.
but have faith people, have faith. please.
and don't worry.
don't worry about having the money or not because God will provide.
He will provide for his children -- to those who are faithful.
faith is the key. faithfulness in God is what He wants.
and He'll give everything that you need.
so you don't have to worry.
you don't have to worry about money.
you don't have to worry about food.
you don't have to worry about clothes.
you don't have to worry about shelter.
because God sees how faithful we are, and He will give.
He will give you just enough to live
so that we do not get too prideful.
too gluttonous. too selfish.
so that we will continually seek after God.
to be faithful to Him.
so be faithful, people. have faith.
have faith in God who created you.
have faith in God who knows your future.
have faith in God who is in control.
and love Him with all your heart. your soul. your mind.
show your faith by loving Him.
faith. love. hope. faith. love. hope.
have faith. believe. and trust.
have faith.
Father, i know you're next to me right now.
cover my ears and let me listen to your voice alone.
i don't want to hear anything else.
the bickering. the shouting. the fighting.
hold me in your arms and wipe the tears away.
Lord, take me from this place...
into a world that has no time.
no worries. no hurries.
i'll gladly leave it all behind to be with you.
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:28-34
ReplyDeletelately, i have been thinking about that passage dave wrote above and thinking how little my faith is. i worry too much and i get anxiety attacks now and then, and God always tells me "o you of little faith" but after i repent, I feel better. God is good all the time. wonderful entry, angie. wonderful. miss you.
