You cradle my trembling heart.
Matthew 6
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Do Not Be Anxious
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
そろそろ社会人にならなきゃ。よくて、立派な社会人になりたいけど... 何をするがいいでしょうか。何をすればいいでしょうかな？多分みんなそれぞれに、それが経験するはずだ；道も思いもまよってて、名もない人らしいの。この広い世界に、私の場所はどこか？
人生の道にはまっすぐいけばいいんだろうっと思ってたが、間違ったの。大間違いだ。
I was wrong, but now then this is my prayer. Even in the midst of quivering in fear, of this I am convinced.
Give me eyes to see more of who You are
May what I behold still my anxious heart
Take what I have known and break it all apart
For You, my God, are greater still
Give me grace to see beyond this moment here
To believe that there is nothing left to fear
And that You alone are high above it all
For You, my God, are greater still.
「ありのままで もう一回歩き出そう 悲しみ越えて
誰のでもない名もなき道を
明日もそう 夢にむかって悩んで笑って笑って
確かなことは一つだけ」
そう。気持ちは同じだが... 確かなことは、主イエスが私と一緒のことだ。
