With so many promises from the Almighty, why are we still afraid? Sayings like this gives us courage to move forward on the path to achieve our ultimate goal, TO BE HIS LOVED CHILD. I have heard this phrase in Hindi “Jab Dant Na The Tab Dudh Diye, Abh Dant Diye to Anna Na De?” (When you didn’t have teeth, he made provision for you by giving milk (from your mother’s breast), now when you have teeth, will he not give you food? So, don’t worry, Trust Him)
