`

So...I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, not all of it good or bad...just thinking. Ever have days, weeks like that? Well, mine are turning into months...sometimes I'm afraid but then I have to stop myself and remember a Bible verse: "Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because GOD, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." Deuteronomy 31:6, The Message


Fear Not

Fear is nothing but fear itself.
It steals from the heart's sense of joy and of wealth.
Fear takes away from the freedom we gain
when we realize that fear is a lie and a game.
God removes fear, and where the noise was heard,
will be filled with a peace and a grace in one word -
Jesus – His name conquers fear with His power.
His name gives us courage when most of us cower.
Victory, in Him, is the key and the calm
He holds us close, in His tender palm.
His strength is made perfect in each of our weakness
and allows for His spirit to shine and give meekness.
If fear holds us back, open up all to Him.
He’ll come, never leave you and stay close within.
