I Am Afraid

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
  
Alot of times we are afraid of the unknown, we are afraid to step out, we are afraid to come out of hiding. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. So many times we hear and repeat this scripture but do we truly know what it means? Do we believe it when we have to come out of our comfort zone, when we have to speak in public, when we have to do something that seems like the impossible for us.

God has called us to do many things and I believe if He has called us, He has already equipped us. God has given us talents and He has chosen us because He saw the potential and He knows what we can do. If God believes in us, why then don't we believe in ourselves? Why then don't we believe in the ability that God has given? Why then don't we believe in our potential?





Now is the time to arise. It will take time to step out without fear but it is a process. It is a process of recognising that you can't do it on your own, you can only do it with God. We never get to the place where we don't need God to help us through that song or to help us through that speech. We will always need Him but we will always need to step out in faith.

Step out in faith today and do what God has called you to do. Now is the time to spread those wings and fly out of those comfort zones.

  1. A FMF neighbour. So true you know. That God has already gifted us with what we need. WHY do we let fear stop us? We just don't trust him enough, you know?
