TRUST

Now that we know what we have--Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God--let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all--all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrews 4:14-16

CONTENTMENT

I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.

GOD'S LOVE

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day---our standing in the world is identical with Christ's 1 John 4:16-17

murky. Keep your life as well-lighted as your
best-lighted room. Luke 11:34-36

WORRY

If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers-most
of which are never seen-don't you think he'll attend to you, take
pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to say here is
to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you
can respond to God's giving. Matthew 6:30,31
