_short post_ Nothing to Fear

As always, I've been thinking. Over the past few months I've been going over 'fear' and it's purposes. I've pretty much come to the understanding that there's nothing to fear: yeah, it's kinda redundant from the Bible, but seriously.

Think of something you would be afraid of. Now we'll come to the understanding of WHY you shouldn't worry about that.

What's the worst thing that could happen to you? I seriously want to know. Some would say to die, others might say to live severely injured. What is the worst thing that could happen?

America might not be the country that supports freedoms to being a follower of Christ in the future. Does that make you afraid or get you excited?

It gets me excited.

I can't remember where the quote is, but something like, "If God's eye is watching out for little birds, why would you doubt that He would watch out for you, too?"

I would suggest living a little less tied to the things you have. Live with less hold on your life. Everything within you should live to glorify your king; so whatever happens to you would only be in service to your king, also. What an honor! Imagine being killed because you have such a love for God and others that people can't stand it.

It may be mostly related to life and death, but let it trickle down through every aspect of your life: there is nothing to fear!
