Fear...the other four letter word. It keeps me locked up inside and the wall it creates is death! There is a song by Tenth Avenue North that says "fear is just a lie, open up your eyes and He will break open skies to save those who cry out His name." So instead of letting fear get the best of me, which I admit it has many, many times, I am going to let the Lord into each one of them...no matter how small, embarrassing, confusing, frustrating, or whatever. I am tired of being afraid of fear. I told myself when I was younger that I would never live in fear again. I did that growing up, but it would no longer be something that enslaved me. I am reminded of that daily, yet as I have gotten older telling myself that does not always work. It only leaves me frustrated. So here is a toast to fear and it's time of departure. I admit that I am not going to miss her and am excited that she is on her way out. If she decides to visit again, I will allow the Lord to get the door and send her on her way.
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
1 John 4:18
