Future plans

Sometimes I would think about what I am going to be doing in the future, and I worry also about what I will be doing, where I will live, how I will provide for myself. I was thinking about this in the kitchen one time then suddenly a verse came to me out of nowhere which was Mark 10:29-30 "I tell you the truth, Jesus replied, no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life." What Jesus is saying here is that if someone were to leave all these things to spread the good news of what He did, that person will gain all of this and persecutions and the best part ETERNAL LIFE. Wow! When I thought about that verse it just gave me so much peace because I was worrying about that. And then I found in my bible what Jesus said about worrying and it gave me even more comfort. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is there today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." I will never stop reading my bible and I will focus on the words of Jesus and what He has to say to me and my future. Amen!!! <3333
