New Life
Looks can be very deceiving. Sometimes, on the outside, it can look like things are falling apart. But God is working on the inside.
Jesus is making, in me, a new life. Every day His grace is working. It is a gift, His doing, but He IS doing it. Not always seen, but real nonetheless.

would wear or what we would eat. Look at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field that are beautiful to watch and to look at. We are more valuable to God than all the other parts of creation. Don’t get all hung up over something that will impress others. Who are you living for and what will all these things do for you? They won’t bring you happiness!
It is another beautiful day in paradise. Which reminds me that He made all of this.
