That was a little less than 3 years ago. Since then, fear has taken a front seat in my life. I have been doing too many things afraid and have sat in the muckiness of doubt and have not been able to fully enjoy the victories that God is doing in my life...
This is my new motto: Do it unafraid. I don't want to be scared anymore. I don't want fear to control my every whim and doubt to get in the way of His blessing. There are too many amazing things happening for me to sit idly by watching them, hoping that nothing bad happens even though promise after promise has been given to me. I don't want to live walking on eggshells because I am so worried about what other people think of me. This is what the bible tells me: I am royalty. The daughter of the King who sits on His throne in Heaven eagerly waiting to bless me. I am loved with an unfailing love and that perfect love drives our fear! He has told me that I am forgiven because of what He has done for me. He has told me there is no condemnation under the power of His name. He has told me I am more precious than jewels. And we know how much value people place on those.... Forgiven, loved beyond any other love, uncondemned and more valuable than jewels..... Today, I will remember these things as I stare at the face of evil waiting to tear me down at work. I will not be afraid of it. I will stare right back at it with the knowledge of who I am and more importantly, who my Father is and I will cling tight to the promise that He is with me always.
Psalm 120:
5 The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
7 The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
