P. 69

Keep an eye on natural blossoms how they arise, they do not scare away nor do
                   they weary. I say to you Solomon in all his different raiment was not clothed like
                   one of them.

                   Do not be concerned or say, what we will consume or with what will we be
                   clothed. Worldly minded people set about all these things. Your Father in heaven
                   acknowledges all these issues that they are essential. Explore first the kingdom
                   of God and his fruition and all these things shall be supplied. Do not be
                   concerned about tomorrow; tomorrow will attend to it. Now God arrays the grass
                   of the field today; tomorrow it will be cut down dried up and thrown into the
                   fireplace. He is to a great extent aware of you; the very hairs of your head are all
                   numbered.

                   Do not lie up for yourselves riches and bury them in the ground or accumulated
                   clothes to wear; these items that rust and moths destroy and thieves can steal.
                   Lay up for yourself riches in heaven where rust and moths cannot destroy nor
                   thieves can come and steal.

                   He who loves is life will lose it; he who has no concern for his life in this world will
                   keep it to life eternal. Any man who would serve me, let him follow me; where I
                   am, there also will be my follower. He who obeys me obeys the Father who
                   directed me and my Father will honor. He who believes in me believes in him
                   who directed me. You will know the truth and the truth will justify you.


                                                We Have Left Everything

                   Peter began to say, we have left behind everything and followed you. Jesus said,
                   blessed are you poor for your is the kingdom of God. No man who leaves his
                   field, house, father and mother, wife and children for my sake and the sake of my
                   gospel, who shall receive now many times more, fields, houses, converted to the
                   kingdom of God brother and sister and maid servant and men servant; in the
                   kingdom to come life everlasting. You who know how to give beneficial gifts, how
                   much more will your Father give beneficial issues to those who ask him?
                   Whatever you request men to do for you do also for them; this is the Law and the
                   prophets

                                               Parable of Vine and Pruner

                   Then he spoke this parable, I am the vine, my Father is the Pruner, every branch
                   in me that does not bear fruit he cuts off and casts out; those who bear fruit he
                   prunes so that they may bear more fruit. You have already been pruned because
                   of the word which I have spoken to you. Continue with me and me with you. A
                   branch cannot bear fruit itself unless you continue in attachment to the vine. I am
                   the vine you are the branches. He who continues with me and me with him will
                   bear considerable fruit. Without me you will dry up and be cast outside. Like a
