Then Jesus said to those who followed there:
“So I tell you, don't worry about what
in life you'll eat; or your body will wear...
For more than food is Life, & that you've got!

And more than clothes, is your body; which you've
already got,  which God has gi'en to you.
So that should be enough to surely proove
the lesser things you need done, he will do..

(but maybe through his son, who now is you).
Consider local bird - the bush gallah;
for they don't sow or reap, or have storerooms
or dams; yet God feeds them. Yet more, by far,

valuable you are than birds! Who of you
by worrying can add a single hour
to your life ? And then since you cannot do
this very little thing, why worry now

about these bigger issues? "Think about
how the lilies grow. They do not labor
to make their clothes. Yet I tell you, that not
even Solomon in all his splendor

was dressed like one of these, in flowing gown.
If that is how God clothes the grass in field, 
which here today, is then tomorrow thrown
into the fire, how much more will he yield

such clothes for you, O you of little faith!
On what you'll eat or drink - don’t set your heart -
or wear; don't worry 'bout it, for the pay-
-gan world runs after all such things. Your Fath-

-ther knows that you need them. But always seek 
clear first of all, his kingdom, and these things 
will be given to you, & you'll reek
of freedom like a bird upon its wings.

“So do not be afraid, my little flock.
Your Father has been pleased to give you the..
..the kingdom that is stronger than a rock,
..the kingdom of his Son - the great Lover.

So sell all your possessions and give to 
the poor. Provide some purses for yourself
that won't wear out, so that your wealth will do
the trick in heaven, where true wealth has health...

that will not be exhausted any more,
where no thief can come near, no moth destroy.
For where your treasure is, right there is your..
your heart, which is a child like girl or boy!

 ....Luke 12:22-34 ; Mt 6:25-33
