#fear

  • Soar

    God’s love gives you wings. When you understand how BIG God’s love is for you then life changes from a pass/fail final exam to a participatory party. You can take risks without being paralyzed by fear. Perfect love casts out all fear. Know God, no fear. Not the kind of ignorant overconfidence that typically is associated with so-called liquid courage. But rather, an unshakeable assurance that settles you down in the deepest parts of your heart. Peace beyond understanding. To be known and accepted. Never abandoned. Always God is for you. Ask Him to help you see today.

  • Morale

    Sometimes the storms of life may not take us out physically, but they can beat up our morale. Fatigue sets in. To borrow from the storyteller in the video below: resting becomes difficult because you can’t stay stationary.

    Interesting as I recall the story of Jesus sleeping on the boat during a storm. His closest followers with Him were freaking out. He awoke and calmed not only the waves but also the fear in their hearts.

    We are not guaranteed safe physical passage through this life. But I rest more so in the spiritual as I stay close to my Navigator. His perfect love casts out fear.
