Dear Gintare,

Dear Gintare,

When you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. You must never forget 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. Just look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you, Gintare, count far more to him than birds.

Did you ever hear of someone getting taller by so much as an inch by fussing? Relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving.

People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. So, there is only one thing for you to do - Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
