Fear Not...

Hmm... deep thinking this AM and I'll apologize in advance I'm typing this legally blind (no contacts or glasses) but feel the need to get it written but also have to be getting in the shower soon. So excuse the typos. A friend recently told me "it's in the eyes" when talkign about looking your self in the mirror and getting real with yourself and God. I agree, mostly. God searches a man deeper than what can be seen and our eyes are limited. It's about what's in your heart. If you carry around bitterness, anger, frustration, guilt, self doubt or any other host of the many feelings we have as humands, even the smallest seed of the above, it is what you will reap. Ok know of us are prefect but I've found in the last 6 months to 2 years that filling my heart with God's word and His promises smoothers out the seeds of anything else that migth consume my heart. I can rationalize and down play anything that creeps into my head and I can lie to my own eyes but my heart speaks the truth. The time is NOW to make the change. |

No fears, no regrets it's an all out love affair with my King. No more fear of rejection, no more fear of acceptance, no more fear of failure, no more fear of succeeding, no fear of lonliness,... used to have a hat in the late 80s early 90s that said "Fear Not..." instead of the popular "No fear." THeres a difference there "Fear not" to me means it may creep in but I won't fear it. "No fear" means it won't be there. I'm human so the fears will be there so saying "no fear" would be a lie of my mind. Then when the above creep in I'd feel more defeated in my heart. So today I say "Fear not..." for my God is in control and my heart is focused on him. When I struggle and my mind and my eyes want to convince me of different then I'll turn ot His word and fellowship of great friends who I believe God sends to help us keep our focus.

Matthew 11:28-30 "Coem to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy adn my burden light."
