FEAR

What stops us from giving ourselves completely to Christ? Is it control? Is it wanting to get your own way? Or is it fear? I know for most people, it is the last one. FEAR. Fear stops us from doing the things we want in life. It can sabotage our goals, our morals, and our dreams. And to think all we have to do is give our life to Jesus and then we would never need fear again. But what is it about fear that sucks us in. Why does fear keep us from getting that job we always wanted, keep us from confronting our problems, or helping others, or most importantly, giving our life and heart to Christ. Fear enables us to be lazy and have an excuse. I know in my own life I have battled with fear in lots of things I have done or wanted to do. Fear has kept me from speaking up, asking for help, and has even made me miss out on things I have wanted to do. This I am challenging you, and myself as well, to step out of the fear and into the light!!! Whatever God is calling you to do, whatever your desire is, go out and do it! One thing I have learned in the last few weeks is life is short! And you can't accept your purpose if you are living in fear!!! Amen :)
