God is the Father and takes care of everything, what he created

When teaching about the Kingdom of God, Christ demands from man, that he may strive more for God's Kingdom in his life, rather than your daily needs. For God remembers them.
“Watch the birds in the air : they neither sow nor reap, and they do not gather for storehouses, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more important than they are? ? Who of you, with all your concern, can add even a single moment to your life ? And why do you care too much about clothing? ? Look at the lilies in the field, how they grow : they do not work or spin. And I tell you : even Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like one of them. So if the herb in the field, which is today, and tomorrow it will be thrown into the furnace, God is so cute, it is not even more so to you, little faith ? So don't worry too much and don't talk : what are we gonna eat ? what will we drink ? what we will wear ? Because it is all the pagans are striving for. For your heavenly Father knows, that you need all of this. Strive first for the Kingdom (God) and for his righteousness, and all this will be added to you " (Mt 6, 26-33).
Jesus reveals God to us as someone very close to us. It shows God as the Father of all creation, and above all, as the Father of all people. God cares like the best Father for everything, what he created. However, he surrounds man with the greatest care and love.

“Be perfect then, how perfect is your heavenly Father "

Jesus Christ revealed the Father to us for more than that, we would know, how is he. When Christ tells us about the Father, it calls us, that we may become like Him, that we may imitate God :
"And I tell you : Love your enemies and pray for them, who persecute you ; so you will be sons of your Father, who is in heaven ; because He does, that his sun rises on the bad and on the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love them, who love you, what a reward you will have ? Don't the tax collectors do it? ? And if you only greet your brothers, what a special thing you do ? Don't the Gentiles do it? ? So be perfect, how perfect is your heavenly Father " (Mt 5, 44-48).
God is love. He loves everyone and cares for even the smallest of creatures. Is good. You are His child, you should also be kind and kind to all of this, what God created. So when you respect the plant, you look after the animals, and most of all when you are good to another person, then you truly respond to Christ's call. Then you follow God as the best Father.
