Maybe you woke up this morning and thought, “There has to be more to life than this.”
That is because there is more than this.
There is more to you than the food you eat and the clothes you wear.
There is more to live for than the next new thing or the next great distraction.
Your life is meant to be full of love, relationships, purpose and security.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:25-26 that, “There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.” (MSG)
Don’t believe the lie that your value to God lies in what you look like, what you have, or what you do. You can trust Jesus to provide you with food to eat, clothes to wear and so much more.
Your value to God has nothing to do with food or clothes or position or power or prestige.
You are valuable to God because you are His child.
My friend, you are a child of God who is cherished, chosen and provided for.
May today be a day that you live “care-less” in the care of your Father and be free to focus on other things than the basics.
