Dependence on God
A reading from the Gospel of Luke 12, 22 – 34:
Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life and what you will eat, or about your body and what you will wear. For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. Notice the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God feeds them. How much more important are you than birds! Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your life span? If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest? Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
My sister told me that my birthday is fast approaching. Yes indeed as my birthday is on March 2nd. I thank the Lord that he has let me see another birthday and that my health is good these days. I know that the Lord has given me a mission and he will keep me here until I finish that mission I received from Him. I thank the Lord for all the wonderful things that He has given Me especially good health and many friends.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You are My little flock My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have faith in Me and who love Our Heavenly Father. Remember that the Father is helping you at every minute. So you should not worry about where you will get food to eat or something to drink or find clothing to dress yourselves. See how the Father takes care of the birds of the air and gives them food to eat every day. See how beautiful are the flowers in the field who last a day or two and then are thrown in the fire. I tell you My friends that you are of greater value than birds or flowers.
What does the Father wants from you, My brothers and sisters? Be people of faith who wants to be members of the Kingdom of God. The Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom so come and enter this wonderful Kingdom. Do not worry about the things of the world but look forward to the wonders of the Kingdom of Heaven. Make sure that your treasures are in heaven where they cannot be destroyed. If your treasures are in Heaven then your heart is there too. I bless you all and I love you.”
