When...Fear is a tool that Satan likes to use on us. When we have fear we allow Satan to control us. We don't do what we are supposed to do because we fear. Why do so many people avoid the Bishop? Fear, the replacement for fear is trust. We need to trust God, realize that he is our Father and that he created us. Realize that he knows exactly who each one of us are. He can see who we can become and what we can do with our lives, but we must trust him. He is a Father who loves us, wants what is best for us. We may very well all be nothing when left to ourselves, but when we take God's hand and trust him, then we begin a journey. That journey is one where he makes us into something, someone. The journey refines us and prepares us to be like God. He knows your divine heritage and he will help you get there. First you must trust, recognize that you are something and someone in God's eyes and Satan wants you to forget that. If you forget that, then God doesn't matter or his plan. It matters not what you do or don't do in this life, that is why Satan wants you to forget. Learning about who you are in this mortal realm is part of the journey. You will find you have many weaknesses and strengths. Then you have the opportunity to overcome them with the help of Christ. Next you will realize that your power and strength comes from God and is a gift. As you continue to follow God your power and strength will grow. But the question remains, do you and will you trust God?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
