LUKE 12:1–7 YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Friday of the 28th Week in Ordinary Time

Jesus warns His disciples against hypocrisy, reminding them that what is hidden will eventually come to light. But He also tells them not to be afraid, because they are precious to God. He points to the sparrows, which seem so small and insignificant, yet none escapes the Father's attention. If God cares for even the smallest creatures, how much more does He care for us? We are known, loved, and never forgotten by Him.

Many people carry fears they rarely speak about: worries about health, family, finances, the future, or what others think of them. Sometimes we try to appear strong and hide our struggles, even from those who love us. Jesus invites us to live honestly before God rather than pretending to be someone we are not. We do not need to earn His attention or prove our worth. He already knows us, including our weaknesses, and continues to love us.

What fear are you carrying today that you need to place in God's hands? Perhaps the situation will not change immediately, but you do not have to face it alone. Remember the words of Jesus: “Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.” Let that truth settle into your heart. Live honestly, love generously, and trust that the Father who knows even the smallest details of your life will remain with you through whatever lies ahead.

With Love and Prayers
