…I can run away and hide. I can be bold and brave. I can get reinforcements. Or I can trust in you, God. My fears are quick to drill into my heart and mind. But you are always aware of what I am afraid of. I have seen what you are capable of. My fears can’t overcome you. I know that perfect love drives out fear. 1John 4:18 Your Love is perfect and it can root out and destroy fear. Fear is not the ruler of my life. It cannot be because love and fear are incompatible. They cannot co-exist in me. You have never desired for me be driven solely out of fear of you. Fear is respect and you deserve all respect. Proverbs 9:10. But fear can’t sustain me. It can’t compel me to love you and live for you. Your unfailing love is the driving force behind our relationship. I am assured in your love for me and I depend on that truth to sustain me when fears surround me. They cannot overtake me, since your love will not allow it. So, when I am afraid…I will believe, trust, depend, rely, on you because of your True Love. Unlike my fears, it is always real.

Hold Your Position
Wait. Stand by. Hold your position. I hear this from God in my life today. I’ve heard it before and my history shows that I do not excel in waiting. I’m not alone in this. I know patience is not a prevalent trait in society. Waiting for God, though is unlike any other type of…
Pick A Card
I walked in to the offices of a non profit organization over 10 years ago. I came in to take over their accounting and I didn’t think much farther than getting through the interview that day. I never thought I would hang out that long or that one of my best friends in the world…
I Look To You
I l But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Psalm 141:8 Where else will I look? I don’t have another place to see the Love that I need to get me from place to place here in this world. If I hit…
Invisible Love
For the last year and half or so, I’ve written about what I know and what I’ve learned and what I’m still learning about God and about Jesus. I’ve only had a blog for that period of time, but I became a Christian a long time before that, and I guess, when I first…
I like your writing. By the way, FEAR is a demonic spirit.
