Verse for March 21st
Luke 12.32-34
Jesus said, ‘Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.’

Questions

Original Comment:Fear and no fear
I love the way JohnGriffiths7 makes his videos to comment on the verse of the day. I seem to be fearful of lots of things, but he just shares himself and his faith and we are all blessed and enriched by it. He seems to be echoing Jesus’s words to me, Do not be afraid, little flock. Thank you John, and thank you God for reassuring me. A purse that does not wear out, indeed.
