The Spirit of Fear

[Reuben_J]

If it is of any comfort, you are not alone with this fear. Probably in yours, they are more marked.

I can only say, as some had said, is to allow God more in your life. You are a child of God, wonderfully loved and fearfully made. Your Father God affirms you. You are precious in His eyes. And that what really matters.

Drink this gem of truth.

God bless you.

One of my favorite philosophers is Rev. Fred M. Rogers, known more commonly as Mister Rogers, the one who was the host of a show made mainly for young children (but great for people of all ages). Mr. Rogers was an extremely wise and empathetic man with very simple but profound thoughts. He always would say things like “I like you just the way you are.” “You make each day special just by being you.” He meant it too and wanted everyone watching to understand it. He truly believed that every single person was created special and unique by God and God always will love each and every person. And he was right. You are special. There is no one else like you. Let go of the fear of not always being right. You can be loved just like any one else. It is hard to let go of fear, believe me, i know. But always remember you are loved.

We can’t take this for granted.
We must always be striving to do better.
Saying “God is good and he’ll cut us all slack on the last day” is just fooling ourselves.

Fear and worrying are bullies. They don’t give us anything yet they will take so much from us. So much energy that is wasted on these could be spent on more fruitful endeavors. It takes much practice to let go of energy thieves such as these. And with practice we will still experience fear, worry, etc… This is part of our life. Suffering. As long as we are alive there is suffering. What helps me is something alluded to earlier in the thread. Allow me to decrease so that you may increase. This helps me to let go of the ego and therefore suffer less. Hope this is helpful.
