Live-Part One


FEAR

False. Evidence. Appearing. Real.

      Fear is designed by “The Enemy” to keep us from enjoy life, and experiencing something God wants us to do. We all experience fear daily, whether with big problems or small, but God is always with us during the moments of insecurity. Fear changes our minds to hide behind a false reality because we are scared to take a leap of faith. But like the acronym states above, fear is false evidence that appears real. The Enemy cannot hurt us as long as we are overcome by the Holy Spirit instead of by fear.

      So, here it goes. Next time you are overcome by fear, shake all of the uncertainty, doubt, and insecurity out of your mind and accept the warming thoughts of God into your heart. When you want to take that leap of faith and go travel the world. Attend a university out of state and away from home. Challenge yourself and go explore. Be adventurous. Fall in Love. Have your first kiss. Go to a midnight movie. Try a new dish. Sleep in a different continent. Sing in front of thousands of people. Dance before a large crowd. Drive for the first time in your life. Act on stage. Invest your money. Save your money. Buy something you’ve always wanted, or save your money for something you can’t want to have.

      The bottom line is, do what you want with God by your side, because fear is false. We only have one life, and if we look back and wish we could be or do something else, we are not giving back to what God had intended for our lives.

God is always with us through our struggles

      There is an amazing quote I heard somewhere, it stays that, "God transforms us from our difficulties, but sometimes He transforms us through our difficulties"
      As painful as that is to hear, God will take His time mending, building, transforming, and affirming you when you are in the midst of your darkest moments. God will always help you through situations, but sometimes we all have to fall before we can be picked up. There is nothing more painful for God than watching His children stumble, but it is then, in our weakest moments we find serenity.
      Think back to a time when you have struggled. The time when you could see no light, and you spent most of your days crying. For me personally, during those moment in my life I have been built into a stronger person. I became closer to God through those moments, and because I experienced pain, and suffering then, I am now a stronger Christian. Although those moments are horrible, and tragic, nine-times out of ten everyone grows, and learns from those experiences.
      God will never abandon us, but He will help us learn a few things during our struggle. Although we cannot see Him, God is always beside us, and He will help us become stronger, from our struggles. God's hand is always stretched out to bring us to our feet, but it is up to us to reach out and take His hand.

A message just for you (The one who's worth it)

      There are over 7 billion people in this world today, and out of those 7 billion people you an original-beautiful, and very, loved one-of-a-kind. Although there are days when you are having a horrible day, you feel alone, afraid, scared, and insecure, in those very dark moments of life you are more loved than ever before. At the moments of deep surrender, and complete insecurity, God is holding you tighter than He has ever held you before.

      You are never alone, and in your darkest moments, you are more loved, and more cared for than when you are surrounded by 7 billion people on this earth. God created you, and He adores you. Although there are 7 billion people on this earth God loves everyone just the same, no matter who you are or what you have done, God loves you with an everlasting, unconditional love that is pure and complete. You may be feeling scared, but God is holding you. You may be feeling alone, but God is beside you. You may be feeling afraid, but God is guiding you, you may be feeling insecure, but God is telling you, ‘you are beautiful’.
      Whenever you have a moment of doubt, uncertainty, insecurity, or hopelessness, never forget that God loves you, and you are never alone. You are worth more than gold, and with God…He will treat you with the upmost respect, kindness, love, purity, and beauty, that you could ever hope to have. You are one of 7 billion people, but one person that God loves unconditionally.
"The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." ~ Zephaniah 3:17
