…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.

Lost At Sea
I love being able to write in this blog. I actually do it more for me than anything. I kind of doubt very many people see it anyway, so it’s become a way to release my feelings on “paper”. For a while, it has served to free my heart when it is held down by…
Love With Us
Driving home from church on Sunday, I was by myself and I fell into one of those moods that hits me, where I really need God to make himself present or maybe give me more of a sense of His Presence, physically. I understand that He is very visible in the created things and that…
My Heart
Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart….” Mark 12:30 I want to love God with all my heart. I’m not 100% all day, everyday. I would be a liar if I didn’t admit that. Even though I am His and I am covered in His Love, there is still me in…
You Are My Joy Even If…
I hesitated yesterday. I had a pause moment thinking about all that is in my life and that which is not. I was feeling that worry and grief erode the confidence I have in His Love. That is a terrible way to feel because I unplugged from His Heart, a little lost in that place….
Treasure Hunter
It makes sense that your heart would be in the same place with whatever you treasure. Your heart is the center of your being and it needs to be in proximity with what you value most. Sometimes, I get it right, but other times, I misplace my heart. I look away from my treasure and…
I like your writing. By the way, FEAR is a demonic spirit.
