i have to have it all figured out.
at least that is how i feel.
because since i don't have the plot line before me,
i have these fears.
anxieties of all that it is that i don't know.
fear of rejection.
fear of being used for endorsement.
but
if Jesus loved fearlessly,
and took risks selflessly,
and He is honored as the only wise God,
then i have no choice but to follow His example
and choose to close the door to fear.

How do you close the door to fear? I wonder that myself... How do we begin to walk, talk, and be more like Jesus?
ReplyDeletewe seek HIM. we discipline ourselves in prayer and in knowing His Word. to know Him, we know more of ourselves (as max lucado explains that knowing the creator teaches us so much of the creation). and when we know who He is, and who we are, we walk in confidence and we can honestly trust Him. like job, faithfully accepting the good from God, and the trouble.
ReplyDeletehmm, this is good tamms. I needed to be reminded of this today...I liked your comment too, that we close the door to fear by seeking HIM. I feel like the only times that I haven't really struggled with fear is when i have been diligent about seeking God in His word every single day. and I guess this is just proof that His word and His love cast out fear.
