Jesus’ Life: Chapter 5 – The Sermon On The Mount
Do you worry?
I heard an old man say that he did but his reasons have changed with time! When he was young, he said he wanted to be an adult with adult looks. Now that he was old he wanted to be an inspiration and example to the young, but with youthful looks!
Of course, our future is in God’s plan; I am happy to die for the love of the Holy Family with wrinkles, aches and pains.
Jesus said:
- “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear”.
- “Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your lifespan?”
- “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself”. (Matthew 6:25-34, Luke 12:22-32)
Thought
With Jesus’ direction and help, I can find true peace in my heart.
“Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?” (Jesus)
Reflection
Lord Jesus, thank you for picking me up when I fall. Inspire me in ways to live a simple life, filled with your light.
Prayer: Light
The light of God surrounds me,
the love of God enfolds me,
the power of God protects me,
the presence of God watches over me,
wherever I am, God is,
and where God is, all is perfect.
