sparrows, lilies, and worries.

This is what I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn’t life worth more than food? And isn’t the body worth more than clothes? Look at the sparrows: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than many sparrows? Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?

And why worry about clothes? Look how the lilies grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers . . . So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
[Matthew 6:25-34]

well, thats my absolute favorite verse of all time. not just because i absolutely love birds and flowers. this verse is actually the reason i love birds and flowers. because growing up and even now, i worry about the most pointless things. and will any of of it add time to my life? no, not in the least bit. it takes from my life, every moment i spend worried about everything pointless, a moment i could of spent thinking about how to add to my life and the people around me has been taken away. yes, its true that life is scary. and you dont know what will happen from one moment to the next. and maybe if you do this or that someone will be upset, or youll make a mistake, or if you do this at work they fire you. its stressful..life is stressful. but dont you think god knows that. but we as arrogant humans that we are, we like to pretend we are god. and we like to think for one moment we can fix it. and we dont accept help from people. we just try to do it. and then we get stressed out and eventually it will lead to self combustion. no im kidding. buut seriously. we dont need that. the lilies dont go on a rampage every morning about what to wear, or the sparrows dont freak out because they dont know where theyre going to get their food, but yet..theyre still living. they still get provided for. so dont you think that god will handle it. we arent god. we cant do it all. there is no sense in stressing ourselves out and worrying. give god control. chances are..he has done that before. he has handled those same problems.
"in my heart and my soul
i give you control,
consume me from the inside out lord,
let justice and praise,
become my emrace
to love you from the inside out"
give god control. he handles the sparrows and the lilies. surely we are more important than they. he will handle me too.
i give it all to you.
