Loves Entrance
notes of encouragement
It surprises me to confess that I have lived most of my life in fear. I do not share this lightly, and I do so only to comfort one who may have gone through something similar. I feared what would come next, what would become of me, and what would become of my life. It started when I was very young, because my father passed away at an early age, I’m not sure what thought processes directed a toddlers mind, but I’m sure fear was the author of more than a few. As I grew, so did the body of fear that followed me. Fears of rejection, people…fear of acceptance, failure, the fears were persistent. It is only now, after I have come into the experience of the love of God, that the body of fear which I clung to, has been destroyed. Perfect Love casts out fear. My daughter, Jesus loves you. Until you come into the experience of that statement, it will remain an empty song. Fear is worry and dread of a danger that may be ahead. Love says, no matter what is ahead, Jesus is with me, His presence is with me. Love draws you to say, it doesn’t even matter if a danger is ahead, the Lord will deliver me from it. I won’t even notice it. This habit, of reminding yourself that it doesn’t matter what dangers or storms lay ahead He who saves is with you, will set you free. No more painful relationships, disappointed hopes, or defeated disposition. It all comes to an end. You were built in confidence. Decorated with beauty, crowned with your individual glory. Fear not, for I am with you. Fear not, because I the Lord go ahead of you. Fear not, for I am your healer. Hallelujah, His love endureth forever.
