Then our Lord goes on to say, in words like these: "Do not be anxious about what you will have to eat or drink, or what you are going to wear, for your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things."
I have seen so many instances of God's love and care, both in my own life, and in that of other people!
There was a bed-ridden woman who was very poor. The district nurse said to her one morning, "My dear, we want a new bed-jacket, I think."
And the dear old invalid looked up brightly in answer: "My Heavenly Father will send me one, just when He thinks it is the right time," she said confidently.
And He did send her, two days after, a beautiful warm jacket!
She had sought the Kingdom of God first, and He had added to her "all her need."
