The last few weeks have been absolutely magical. God shows up every day and surprises me with little coincidences, things that make me really smile. The struggles I've been going through the last few years don't even seem to matter to me now. That's not to say that I act exactly the way I should, but I have had such a sense of peace lately. God is so much greater than sin and living in fear and shame is no way to live at all.
I think my new Bible study has a lot to do with my newfound peace because it focuses on Max Lucado's book Fearless. I just have to keep reminding myself that "God did notgive us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. It's so hard to look beyond my own faculties sometimes but every time I remember God's desire for us to live our lived fearlessly, I am reassured. Jesus has overcome the grave and what else could I possibly have to worry about?
Only God knows what's in store for us; "therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." God is an ever-present guide...what could I possibly have to fear?
