I have some (humanly) irrational and (spiritually) ungodly fears, the strangest of these being the fear of not having fear. Last night I was given some clarity on this... without my fears I will have more to do, even more will be expected of me. The devil uses our fears to keep us from fulfilling God's plans for our life, I can see this in my own life. There are fears I have that will, at some point, get in the way of me serving the Kingdom of God. Because God tapped me on the shoulder last night regarding this issue of mine, I now have no excuse. I must press forward... roaring like a lion, growling at my fears, snapping at my enemies and loving my neighbors as myself.
At church last night our pastor asked us to replace John's name (in John 1:6, below) with our own name. This made me feel so important! God gave life to Christ who was the light of all mankind, the light that will never go out. And I have been personally sent by God to this time and place to testify for this light. I can only hope that through me some might believe, or maybe just stop and look at the light?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. John 1:1-8
