Today I am writing about worry and fear because those two words are small, but carry a torment of lies along with them. Fear lies and says what could go wrong, is going wrong or has gone wrong. Fear deceives you into believing untrue realities. Fear is nasty and only destroys your peace. It does not make you a fearful person in fact God sent his son to die so that all fear may be vanished. I am free from the things that were meant to destroy me because when God said those who are free are free indeed, He meant it! Freedom is a word with such tremendous power behind it. I want to be so entirely, free in Him that the worries of this world roll off my shoulders His word says, God doesn't want me to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has enough worries of its own.
Many have assumptions about who God is. The truth is, he is good, loving, life-giving, and brings justice to all chaos. Instead He puts the chaos back into order. The God I know is not- judgemental, religious, hard headed, injust and going around shaming everyone. Noooo wayyyy, in fact He shames none, because he is the epitome of forgiveness. Every ounce of your being was created by him intricately... this is mind boggling! That means each person he made was specifically created and uniquely designed for a purpose. Psalm 139:13 says this, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
He made you, there are no limits to his love."
Therefore He doesn't want his people to worry about anything, your loving, father doesn't want you to worry. He doesn't want you to worry about relationships, family, friends, your financial state, future, past, ANYTHING, period. Even fear of fear itself can be a real battle, but faith overcomes fear, faith looks fear in the face and tells it to go. Because He loves you, made you and CREATED you. He has the ability to crush all fear in y; for when he took pain upon the cross all darkness (fear) was diminished. One of my favourite verses Matthew 6:26 says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
What should we worry about...Zip, zero, notta!
I can see how the world today can be worrisome, but the world is in his hands, so it is not our burden to carry. John 16:33 says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
He's done it, he took on the world so its not our burden to carry. Fear can destroy lives, but God can solve lives! Fear has been a battle of mine, but he has been showing me what true peace is. And bringing me into pure, lightness where fears will not take charge of my life, but love and faith will completely, because perfect love cast out all fear. Not a little, not just some, but ALL fear.
