Worry
Is such a drag.
It’s weight upon my soul
Drags down my body and my mind;
Wastes time.
Jesus
Had much to say
‘Bout giving it no place:
“Do not let your heart be troubled;
Trust Me.”
His words
Are quite profound.
They mean I have a choice.
So I’m replacing worry with
His love.
The God who took the time and effort to put so much beauty into such a tiny flower is the God who cares about every little part of you and your life.
“Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God … casting the whole of your care on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” (Amp.)
By the way, did you notice God’s definition of the word “humble”?
So many people seem to think that to be humble means to look down on ourselves and consider ourselves worthless subjects who deserve all the problems we’re facing — to say of ourselves that we’re not worthy for God to help us. However, God says true humility is the understanding that we cannot fix our own problems, but that we have a Father who loves us so much that He wants to fix all of them for us. So true humility gladly and with great thanksgiving, turns every problem, care, and anxiety over to Him — fully expecting Him to deliver us.

a poem by Sandra Conner
Coming and going,
To-ing and fro-ing,
Thoughts in a dither,
Stomach aquiver …
Scurrying, worrying,
Phoning, conversing,
Weighing last doubts,
Last chance to bow out …
Checking all pockets,
Fastening lockets,
Rosebuds and bouquets,
Fragrant, sublime haze …
Guest in their places,
Smiles on the faces,
Music on swelling tide,
“Here Comes The Bride.”
God cares so much about every little thing in His creation. If He takes the time and attention to dress His fields in beautiful and unique wildflowers, how much more will He take the time and attention to bless you.
(Matthew 6: 24-33)
