The hairs on your head

Ephesians 1:11-14; Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own; Luke 12:1-7

I love today's gospel.  "so many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot."

What a great image to describe the drawing power of Christ.  People couldn't stay away from him.

They were trampling one another underfoot.

Image the crowd.  Imagine the attitude.  It reminds me of when we were in MAdrid for World Youth Day a few years ago.  There were over 1 million people who lined the street to greet the Pope when he arrived.

They were truly stepping one one another to get closer, to get a good look, or a good pic.

JEsus stills has that same drawing power as he uses those he has chosen to make his will known.

JEsus tells us int he gospel, "even the hairs of your head have all been counted."

There is nothing unknown when it comes to God's knowledge of us.

I find this comforting.  I like the fact I can't keep secrets from God.  IT is freeing and refreshing.

I don't have to put on airs or pretend.  God knows everything.

Today think about God knowing everything.  As you do, find freedom in that reality.  Rest at ease in the truth that God knows and we no longer have to pretend.

What a gift!
