fear

Fear is the root of all evil. We know that so why can't we stop being fearful! Haha When I think of being fearless I think of bungee jumping, sky diving, downhill mountain biking or some extreme sporting activity.
Fear is such an intangible feeling, thought, indwelling. I am such a tangible and tactile person that I want to identify my shortcomings hold them in my hands and tear them apart. I want to find out what my weaknesses are and blow them to smithereens. Fear and doubt have a sneaky way of working their way into our minds and making us feel insecure about the skills, talents, abilities that we already have.
We must choose to believe truth, choose to love, choose to be carefree and LOVE. Easier said than done.
I realize that the lies that the enemy attacks us with are not anything new. Satan is not creative, he is not a creator. He perverts and twists God's truth to make us believe. We are much more prone to believe a half truth that has been tweaked just so.
The most affective way for me to identify a lie in my life is to journal about it and physically write down my insecurities, doubts, and fears. There is something about writing them down that objectifies the statements that I had been believing and makes it easier to see how wrong they really are. Having scripture next to these lies shows such contrast from these dark lies that it makes life simpler when you can call out lies in your own life.
Satan has stirred a fear in me to write, which would make sense because it produces so much good in my life. I must overcome my own fear to write and choose what God is telling me to do.
I love to write and see my own thoughts captured in a concrete way. I have so many abstract 'dreamer' thoughts that I need to focus myself to slow down. Resting in the Father's arms and knowing that I am worthy is the only way that I come to peace.

He who has begun a work in us will complete it.
-Phillipians 1:6

sin- is refusing to allow God to have authority of our lives.

Let us rest in the knowledge that the Father is the source of LIFE and he has so much more to offer than we could even imagine for our own lives. Do this by FAITH and TRUST that he is good.

We are saved by GRACE..
