Fling Aside Your Fears

Relax, Rejuvenate, Refresh. Casting all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you.

Are you addicted to worry? When looking in a mirror, what do you see, worry or peace, hope or fear?

How do we find happiness in an unhappy world? Don't be driven by what others throw on you. Be driven by the power of the Holy Spirit. He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

We can't change what we don't confront, so let's confront our fears, fling them aside. Relax, rejuvenate and refresh our minds and hearts.

"Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace that passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Therefore, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

What do we do to fullfill our lives with joy and contentment? Do we depend on our family, our jobs, our reputation, our success, our trophy's, plaques or medals, our emotions, our feelings, our circumstances?? Fearing disappointment, being hurt, rejection, lack of self-esteem or control?

Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusts in Thee. Thou will show us the path of life, in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He turns our mourning into dancing.

Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned (and continue to learn daily), in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Are you happy and secure about today or tomorrow? The Bible says; "Therefore, take no thought saying, What shall we eat? What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Do you fear using the potential God has given you? Do you know "who you are?" NOT what you are (a mother, a father, a son, a daughter) or what you do (a nurse, a policeman, a CEO, a logger, a janitor), but "who you are?" You are a child of the King, His glory, the light of the world, the salt of the earth, the apple of His eye, a citizen of his Kingdom, more than a conqueror. At last free.
If God says we are, we are. Agree with Him. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

He makes all things beautiful in it's time. It's never too late to be who we were created to become, we must move beyond our fears. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie, though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

He is at our side, but our fears raise an iron curtain between us. Fling aside those fears, His arms are outstretched to receive us. In the moment we relinquish all, in that same moment we shall know release, for we shall be set free of ourselves, our fears and be captive of His love and His peace.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us....For we are saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

These things He has spoken unto us, that His joy might remain in us, and that our joy might be full. When we go to Him admitting our fears, our lack, He fills us up. He alone restores our souls. Secure in His love. In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in Him. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. As we think in our heart so are we.
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Where is the place of your rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and refreshing?

Helen Keller wisely said, "The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
