Choose Life

‘Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.’ - Matthew 6: 25

Jesus says, ‘Think about the Kingdom first and all the other things you are so worried about will fall into place. Why are you so worried? Why are you so preoccupied? Why are you so afraid? I would like to make you free. I would like you to follow the Lord in whose presence there is life. I want to give your life. If you hold on to your own things you get enemies. You get walls. You get death. There is destruction, war, and violence. But I am the Lord of life. Choose life! Choose me in whose presence there is abundance’.
