Today has been a really encouraging day. I was able to sit down in the day shelter with several people and read and write alongside each of them. Mom and Grandma wrote me letters and I wrote each of them letters back which was comforting to do. I think it was refreshing to sit in the shelter and simply be a part of the crowd. Grandma had shared Luke 12: 22-32 with me in her letter and it really spoke to me as I was sitting among everyone. The passage talks about how we should not worry about what we eat or wear because God cares for us more than the well dressed lilies of the field or the birds of the air. I thought of how comforting that scripture would be to those around me when the words become reality, to those who don’t have clean clothes or daily food to always depend on. I thought of how crippling our wealth can be when we don’t need God’s provision and can be sustained by the treasures we have stored up on earth. It’s passages like Luke 12 that make me want to sell everything so I can fall further in love with the Creator who sustains me.
