The full quotation from the New Testament says, Matthew 6:28-29 "28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
It means, don't worry, be happy! God will take care of your needs. Just ask Him. It's a great chapter. Take a look at the rest of it.

it's from the parable of the birds of heaven ... Matthew 6:24-33 or Luke 12: 20-32 ... it basically says that you shouldn't worry about things because God will take care of you and then a bunch of examples are listed including the lilies of the field that God has used to cloth the field so don't you believe him that he will clothe you? that's what it's referencing I'd have to see it in context to tell you more... literary allusions don't you love 'em

Ah, thank you for taking the time to learn the English language. This "Lilies of the Field" quote will be helpful as you learn English.
Sorry, but I don't recognize what "language" the rest of your message is written in...

i did no longer understand if i presumed him until eventually he informed me he'd anticipate me and did. when I informed him that I enjoyed him six months after telling me, the wait grew to become into somewhat worth it. Then and basically then did i think him. we've been at the same time ever in view that. Seven years of bliss and four and a nil.5 mind-blowing married years. i admire him deeply. BTW: We have been ultimate acquaintances previously we began relationship. i think that grew to become into what made the version, yet i did no longer have confidence him whilst he first informed me. It grew to become into his strikes that made me have confidence him, after the actuality.

It means "Look at the lilies in the field - see them".

They do nothing to make themselves beautiful. They depend on God to give them food and water and they grow. They have faith that God will provide these things for them.

Look at the beautiful lillies for what they represent for what they symbolize for what they portray
