Reflect today on the fact that every part of your life is fully present in God

“Aren't you selling five sparrows for two pennies? Yet none of them escaped God's attention. Even the hair on your head was counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows “. Luke 12: 6-7

"Do not be afraid." These words are often repeated in the Holy Scriptures. In this passage, Jesus says that we shouldn't be afraid due to the fact that the Father in Heaven is attentive to every little detail of our life. Nothing has escaped God's attention. If God is attentive to sparrows, He is even more attentive to us. This should give us a certain sense of peace and confidence.

Of course, one of the reasons this can still be hard to believe is that there are many times when it seems like God is quite distant and inattentive to our life. It is important to remember that whenever we experience this sensation, it is only a sensation and not reality. The reality is that God is infinitely more attentive to the details of our life than we could ever realize. In fact, he is much more attentive to us than we are to ourselves! And not only is he attentive to every detail, he is deeply concerned about every detail.

So why might it sometimes seem like God is distant? There could be many reasons, but we should be sure there is always one. Maybe we are not listening to Him and not praying as we should and therefore we lack His attention and guidance. Perhaps He has chosen to remain silent on an issue as a way to draw us closer to Himself. Perhaps his silence is actually a very clear sign of his presence and will.

Reflect, today, on the fact that no matter how we may feel at times, we must be certain of the truth of this passage above. "You are worth more than many sparrows." God even counted the hair on your head. And every part of your life is fully present to Him. Allow these truths to give you comfort and hope knowing that this attentive God is also a God of perfect love and mercy and will provide you with everything you need in life.

Lord, I know you love me and are aware of every feeling, thought and experience I have in life. You are aware of any problems and concerns I have. Help me to continually turn to You in everything, knowing Your perfect love and guidance. Jesus I believe in you.
