Fear is Not your Friend

Daniel 10:19

“Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, “Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”

For the last couple of years; up until recently I have been plagued with fear. I was attacked in 2010 and my once fearless self became frightened of even the smallest things. See, I had forgotten that I was still precious to God. If I was able to get attacked like that I must not be very valuable. The enemy had my mind like never before.

Today was a day of peace! I'm always disappointed with myself for I'm quick to whine and snivel if things aren't going my way and get a bit haughty thinking when things are good as if I did them. But today...for this day...I was at peace at the same time as I was thankful for God's love.

He loves YOU! He thinks YOU are precious. Whether you are angry with him or not, he loves you. If you are blaming him for something bad that happened that the enemy created, he's still loving you. He does not love one of his children above the other but loves and wants the best for them all.

So if fear starts entering your day today remember to be STRONG for YOU are PRECIOUS to our dear God.

Have a beautiful day my lovely friends.
