I woke up this morning from a dream and a voice speaking to me. This is what it said:
"I did not give you such great capacity for wisdom and courage to see you eaten from the inside by paranoia: Fears of the of the unknown, of closeness or distance from people, wealth or poverty, silence or great noise, of darkness or daylight, of My creation, of the world's end or carrying on without you, of insufficiency for your task or of unfulfilled potential, of pain or a life without it, of deaths, incapacitation, limitations and a host of other things that can never come between us unless you let them. I see the signs of a chained soul in every motion you make, and it breaks my heart!
If you only knew that there is nothing to fear in this world, save being afraid, then you would know freedom like never before. To be given over to your fears is to always dominated by the every emotional, spiritual, or physical bully who enters your life. You need to know now that there is nothing that can touch you, the real "you." Life is a battle, a tumultuous clash between your will, My will, and the will of the world. You are powerless to change the world for the better if you cannot allow change to first occur within you. You are powerless to change for the better if you do not let Me place you squarely in the path of your greatest fears and watch how I can overcome them for you."
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7

No one can keep us from living life to the fullest but us..... this is wonderful that God has revealed this so early in your life, a lot of people go through their whole live never knowing this powerful truth!! SELAH!
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much I needed this. Probably as much as you did when it came to you. I experienced a pretty significant loss in my family earlier this year and it has been one of the greatest tests for me emotionally. I found myself fearing a lot, contemplating those ever demanding questions about life that are left unanswerable for everyone.
ReplyDeleteWhat you just wrote and are coming to understand more about is something I have had to learn and am still learning. Glad to see I am not the only one and happy to have it spelled all out for me again. It's good to have these kinds of reminders.
I hope that whatever led you to this is still looking after you, and that whatever forced you to learn this lesson is fading behind you.
Good luck to you. I'll be seeing you around.
I'm sorry to hear that, Aubrie, but I'm glad you feel the same way about such things. It's a hard life, but it's not for nothing that we experience trouble.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing well. God bless!
