Do Not Fear
It’s easy to fall into the pattern of believing the ways and words of
the world. The judgement, the criticism, the negativity and the labels
that most consider acceptable. It’s easy to take three steps back from
the light of Christ’s eyes and step into the shadows of the unknown, the
earth, your city, your town. It’s easy to lose sight of what is sure
and steadfast, and become swallowed up by all that is shakeable and
untrue. Without hope, without strength, without reliance and trust in
all that He has promised and claimed for us, we are sure to rely on the
lies of satan as a place to find our worth. In our struggles it is
nothing less than his goal and aim, to crush us so finely, that we feel
adamantly to weak to stand and proclaim the truth over our lies… And so,
we are left wondering- if this is the fate I hold on the other side of
the line of life, how do I keep myself from being pulled in the
direction of all that is false, rather than all that is true; and the
answer is pure and simple… Focus and rely on His word, His face and His
victories, and run forth in prayer and desire to seek and be all that is
pure and holy; Do not fear what is to come, do not fear what looks back
at you in the mirror- but embrace who Christ has created and saved you
to be. Your reflection in time, will become more beautiful.. As you hold
tight to his garments, commit to his commands, repent to the foot of
the cross, be cleansed by His blood, adhere to and live out His word.
Until the day when you glance in the mirror and see the weights,
judgements and words of the world resting on His reflection staring back
at you, and not your own. As it is for this reason, and many more- that
He came for us, that we may not suffer, struggle and fall without a
remedy, a cure, a release… A Saviour to raise us up, dust off our
imperfections and remind us that each day is a new opportunity to get
things right and start again. How blessed we are to live in victory,
and not in defeat.
