fear of not having enough.
fear of not succeeding in life.
fear of failing.
as a son. a daughter. a friend. a student. a significant other. a parent. an employee. or an employer.
fear of being inadequate.
fear of being judged.
fear of people. and society as a whole.
fear of not being accepted.
fear of breaking up.
fear of being abandoned.
fear of being hurt.
fear of not being loved.
....and so many more....
and with these fears, our normal tendency is to find security.
but security in...
money. jobs. friends. relationships. people. school. reputation. status. fancy cars. fancy clothes. food. etc, etc.
but do any of these things truly bring any value, any real joy to us??
no. not at all. these things only bring temporary satisfaction that only make us desire for more. and more. and more. NONE of these things completely free us from our fears, insecurities, doubts and uncertainties.
aren't you tired of having these fears in your life? tired of trying to run away from them, or trying to replace them with things that are so fleeting?
i know i am.
i'm so TIRED of it all.
so DRAINED from it all.
so SICK of it all.
so what to do?
find security in GOD! seek your safe haven in HIM. because through Him, your fears will be washed away. as He brings you closer and closer to Him, you'll receive peace. and rest. and confidence.
all your troubles, your worries, your anxieties... ALL of these things have NO place in His home.
so GO to Him. RUN towards Him. He's there, waiting for you. waiting to embrace you, hold you, and protect you. unlike the other so-called securities in life, God will never, ever leave you. He'll always be with you.
forever.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
-- Isaiah 41:10
