Fear Needs to Go


It is not that you need to abide more closely so as not to feel fear, but that fear needs to go so that you can abide more closely. 

The Lord will allow you to undergo a process of discipline and drawing near to Him that will bless you and those you love. 

Freedom from fear will liberate not only you, but also your loved ones. 

Your love for God's word will bear fruit that will bless not only you, but those you love. 

The Lord is rich in mercy; able to sustain that which has been entrusted Him. So often you come to Him because of fear, fear that your sins will be punished as they deserve. Let go this fear, and do not continue in sin so that grace may abound. The Lord Himself sustains you.  

Scripture: "He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him" (1 Thessalonians 5:10).
