Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy. 31:6 NIV
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV
There is one persistent enemy that is always on the prowl looking for ways to trap you and that enemy is Fear. Each of us has so many different kinds of fears, that we tend to accept defeat even before the battle has begun. God loves you and accepts you for who you are Period. There is nothing you can do that will change that. His love is complete and full by all measures and that is the truth. We find this truth hard to accept because we measure God's love by human standards, and that is when we allow fear to take control of our lives, thus ending up not where we want to be. No matter where you are at this point in time, know that God loves you, and that is His indescribable gift. He not only assures us victory but also his presence in our lives till the very end. For, in the end, we will go back to him.
How then, do you overcome fear? In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus cried out to his father, for He was overwhelmed with what was to come, which meant He knew what fear was? But Jesus confronted fear with his faith and humble surrender to His Father, "Not mine, but thy will be done". So the next time you are confronted by fear, be strong and courageous and stop fighting on your own. In faith and humility submit yourself to God, watch your fears disappear.
I pray that all times you be open to the Grace of God our Father, submitting your will to him just like Jesus his son did, knowing fully that he will never leave or forsake you. And may His Holy Spirit be your good counsel and encourage at all times. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
