Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

When Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives, He makes no qualifications – no hemming and hawing. He does not say, “do not worry, except for your children. You should worry about them. And also the state of the world. You should spend at least a little time worrying about that.” Etc.

Your Father is in charge of it all. You are His child, a lamb in His little flock. Fear not. It is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Which, by the way, is way beyond anything we could ask for or imagine.

“Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Proper 18 – BCP)
