 The words that are used by Jesus are pretty straightforward, aren't they? What is it that does this to a person? Well, it's the worries of this life. The worries of this life. Remember in Matthew, in chapter 6, Jesus says to his disciples, he says, I don't want you to worry about anything. Don't worry about what you will eat or what you will wear or what you will put on. After all, the birds of the air are fed, aren't they?
