His eye is on the sparrow
The scriptures are filled with poignant reminders of God’s love for us. In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 10, we find Jesus preparing the disciples to go and teach the world about God’s kingdom. Jesus knows they will face difficult times, just like each of us faces struggles. Jesus tells them, over and over, “Do not be afraid.” Jesus wants us to know that we will encounter trials, but we are not alone. We are cared for by our God, who loves us.
