What are you afraid of? (Part2)

The fears that isolate. The fears that cripple. The fears that steal Life. I thought maybe that little excerpt from the last blog could use some elaboration. I am afraid of rejection. I am afraid of embarassment. I am afraid of being exposed as a weakling. I am afraid of being exposed as inadequate. I am afraid of failure and disgrace. I am afraid of letting God down. Now these are the biggies- These are the ones the enemy uses to cut to the heart. I thought maybe just taking a minute to list some words God has given might be helpful to us all as we deal with some of these and other fears and lies the enemy uses against us.

Psalm 87:6-7 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples; This one was born in Zion (born again). And as I make music I will sing, All my fountains (Life) are in You my God.

Psalm 89:33 God has said, "I will not take my Love from you, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness"

Psalm 91:14 "Because you love Me says the Lord, I will rescue you; I will protect you , for you acknowleges My Name."

John 15:9 Jesus said,"As the Father has Loved Me, so have I Loved you. Now abide in My Love."

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither present nor future, nor any powers,

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all Creation will be able to seperate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Hebrews 13:5b-6 God has said,"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So that I may boldly say," The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid."

In the end I think overcoming these kinds of fears comes down to trusting God's Love for us and His Goodness towards us.

More and more- little by little-

I am finding my identity and worth in realizing the Truth-

I am His-

His child-

A child of the Great King.

Still......... it is a slow process.

Father God seal to my heart the truth-I am Yours.

Holy Spirit help me feel it every day-

from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

Lord Jesus, Thank You for making all this Life possible.

Amen
