I realise that I do not know everything nor do I have answer to all things. I do not have everything in my hand and I have everything. I am weak and I can do all things. In Him.
I see a little toddler in heavenly palace. His cheek is red and chubby. And lo, a little tears on his eyes.
He looks at the King of kings, the ruler of and above everything.
"You said that I can ask for anything and I will have it. You said that I have all the power. You wrote on the wall that I am given the key of wisdom to know all the mysteries. "
And at this junction, tears is flooding his eyes. He stretches his little hand, trembling, to the King, open up his little palm, "I do not have anything..."
The King smiles.
He bends down and kisses him and let His face wipes his tears.
He carries him to his shoulder while he speaks very softly, calm, tender, firm...to him.
"You... do ..have.... everything..."
And He carries him for a walk.
“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
I’m glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you’re again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. I don’t mean that your help didn’t mean a lot to me—it did. It was a beautiful thing that you came alongside me in my troubles.”
Philippians 4:6-7, 10-14 MSG
“And now I have it all—and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God no end. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes.”
Philippians 4:18-20 MSG
“Receive and experience the amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, deep, deep within yourselves.”
Philippians 4:23 MSG
