You can have it all without giving it all! All the things you based your hope on. All the things that change and crumble. All the people who have died and lift you behind. All the fear. Oops! We forgot that didn't we? the big FEAR. Fear is the thing that won't let us live fully. Fear of loving, fear of giving, fear of hoping, fear--you name it. It's always been just around the corner. If I let to of fear, that means I have to put my trust in something else. Fear has kept me safe. Its kept me safe from pain and rejection , loss. Its kept me free from giving myself to anyone or anything. Fear has been with me all my life. It's been my companion,k protector. Now some one comes along and says, "Fear not! I am with you always." Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. Deut. 31:8.
Put your hand in the hand of the Man from Galilee. His favorite name for Himself was SON OF MAN. He relates to fear, but He didn't let it rule His life. So, here we are one with the Son of God and Son of Man, if we choose! The way, the truth, and the life. Matthew 11:28.
Come to Me. He says, been there, done that. The cross! Deut. 31:8 Genesis 3:8
In His love, a work in progress
