Let us imagine we are sitting with Jesus and His disciples under the shadow of huge tree in the warm peaceful afternoon. Just like the scene created by James Tissot's in the little masterpiece below. We are all listening attentively to Our Lord words and He tells us how precious and important we are to the Father (the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows). All we need to do is to be faithful and live our faith.

Luke 12:2-8.
For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed: nor hidden that shall not be known. For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers shall be preached on the housetops. And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will shew you whom you shall fear: Fear ye him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you: Fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows. And I say to you: Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
