Fear is all around us. People are afraid of everything nowadays. Did you know that fear is from the other one (the dark one that lingers around every corner). It did not come from the Lord. It’s the other one’s weapon that he can use against us. If we are fearful all the time how can we ever enjoy our life and what God has given us. Fear, being afraid, paranoia is all fear. Please take all the fear and push it away. It’s wasted time here on earth. We’re all guilty of this. Fear of this afraid of that da, da, da. . . . ..
When you feel fear coming upon you just say a prayer to Jesus and ask him to take all that fear away from you. As you pray, feel Jesus’ arms around you. Feel all of his love around you at the same time. He can take all that fear away from you. He is in control of everything and will forever be. Remember, that there is more than what is here on earth for you. There is such a beautiful magnificent place far away from here. Jesus is preparing a place for us. A place where there is no more fear. No more want. We will feel so much love from Jesus. You can’t even imagine how happy and loved you will feel when some day you will go on and be with Jesus.
Fear can paralyze you. Make you feel bad for no reason. Walk with the Lord and be free of worry and fear. My friend, throw off the blanket of fear and put on the blanket of Jesus. Feel his presence all around you and he will take care of you. He is your father here down on earth and up in heaven waiting for you.
I want to tell you a little story about a picture that my Grandpa used to have. On the front of the picture there was a big white angel on it. There was a saying in German woven on the picture too, and it had an old wooden frame around it that came from my Uncle’s barn. I asked my Grandpa what the picture said in German. He told me that it said “Trust in the Lord and he will take care of you”.
Many times throughout my life when I would feel bad or fearful of something, I would think about that picture and what it said in German. “Trust in the Lord and he will take care of you”. This ole’ saying has been with me for most of my life since I was a little girl.
You see my friend, if you ever feel afraid or alone, or just plain bad, think of my Grandpa’s saying. “Trust in the Lord and he will take care of you.” You see, that is the truth.
What does it mean to trust in the lord? I’ll tell you what it means to me. It means that you should give it all to the Lord. Trust him for everything that you need. He takes care of the smallest of things including little birds that depend on the Lord to feed them in the wintertime. You see Jesus takes care of everything in the earth.
Why would our Lord take care of everything in the world? Yes, you guessed it. Because it all belongs to him. You tell me that you don’t believe that? Who else would it belong to?
Do you think that Jesus would just let it all go? No. I know that he loves us with ALL his heart. Now I know that many times he’s not happy with us. We’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of the Lord, but I know that he must think that there is something worth saving here on this earth. Otherwise, I think we’d all be gone. I think he has patience with us like nothing we could ever imagine, but I know that he loves us so much that he’s always within ear reach for each of us. Why? Again, because he loves us to much with ALL his heart.
We aren’t worthy of his love, but he’s still there for us. He’s our father, our counselor, our dearest friend, and his love is unconditional like a Father’s love for a child. If only we could understand how much he loves us.
Jesus’ love for us will never go away even though many times we fall away from him. We try to go our own way and slowly drift away, but not too far away that he can’t pull us back within his reach. He will never let us go too far away from him. If only we could stop thinking so much about ourselves and just let him love us with ALL his heart.
Jesus, whoever is reading this, may he or she be Blessed with your Holy Sprit forever and ever amen.
