THERE IS ONE PHRASE that is said MORE THAN any other phrase in the whole BIBLE...IT IS: FEAR NOT. WHY??
Here's why: GOD, our Creator and Father knows how tough this life is. HE KNOWS what we are going to face. HE KNOWS how evil life is. HE knows where all the traps and the tribulations
are. HE knows that, in coming to trust HIM, we are going to turn back many times. HE knows we are going to cry 'Uncle" many more times. People say: 'Okay, so why doesn't HE save us from all of that?' But!! That's not how Free Will works. Especially when it comes time to 'come Home' to Him. IF we are going to "fit in with HEAVEN" we have to have ONE FATHER, ONE BOSS OF US... ONE PLAN (the best one (HIS)...we can't have billions of us running all over the place, in different directions - we make no progress that way - What GOD has for us is a zillion times better than anything we could conjure up for ourselves, anyway ! So, all through the Bible, we read FEAR NOT. When we were younger, we're like....Okay.. I'm not afraid of anything (that's our Youth talking)...but then as we get older and more attached to either another person and life or just life in general... we don't necessarily want to exit stage left. WE become very afraid. Afraid of things like: WHAT IF THERE IS NO HEAVEN? WHAT IF THIS WAS ALL MADE UP ANYWAY? WHAT IF I NEVER SEE MY WIFE, MY HUSBAND, MY KIDS, MY DOG (or CAT) or Grandchildren or Friends... ever again? The Big List of 'WHAT IF's' flood our brains.... and we're back to what we're always back to: DO I TRUST GOD? HE wants to know the answer too. That is HIS MAIN QUESTION FOR YOU!! SO, STOP just a moment and think!! Let's take 3 Main Scenarios: 1. there is no God 2. there was once a creator but he no longer is around and doesn't care 3. God is our Loving Father in Heaven. |
Number 1. can't be true because in order to 'evolve' as some think we do, we don't need "Love, Hope, Heaven"
And yet, we ALL have need for Love, for Hope, and a great desire for Heaven...(more so as we get older) ! AND...who do 'they' say GOD IS? GOD IS LOVE... Number 2. Ask anyone who has given GOD the reigns of their life... just ask them if GOD is Dead to them. NO WAY! HE is as alive to them as can be! The More you Trust HIM the more HE, Himself, will reinforce that Trust. Try it. YOU will see...it may be in BIG things but for sure it is in Little things... remember... HE knows every hair on your Head! HE feeds the Sparrows, How much more is HE doing for YOU...made in HIS IMAGE, So dearly Loved by Him - HE is there for US now and we (who have given HIM the reigns know it...right now... in today's world...HE is still very much here!) Number 3. The Knowledge that GOD is indeed our loving Father. This life - this BLINK OF AN EYE - designed to give us the chance to choose... GOD or Hell would not exist if we were just 'evolving' like plants... 'born' - 'grew' - 'died' ... but HE does exist. HE does LOVE US. HE does cry for our pain and HE knows what we endure in this life...and for all of you who think 'it's too good to be true'... just where do you think those GOOD thoughts come from?? Surely not from Humans! Where did the Sermon on the Mount (uber sophisticated philosophy) come from ? Jesus was a mere carpenter, wasn't he? That alone proves HE is the SON OF GOD and that GOD is real. The very goodness of His words affirms His existence! Now go and think on that!! Then just ask HIM: 'GOD... show me what I need to do to Know You. GoD.. let me trust you and turn my life over to you... and God... Let me turn my death over to you... Forgive my many sins and wickedness and lead me to my potential in Eternity as your Creation...' © J 2014 |
