…new day & no fears because fears are just the bad stories we tell ourselves. And your Father is far bigger than your fears.*

This is why “I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand I will not be shaken” Psalm 16:8.

He pulls you right close & whispers it, “Do Not Be Afraid.”

He knows how hard things are. And He knows how faithful He will be.

That’s why He repeats it again & again, 365 times, so we don’t have need to fear any day of the year: Do Not Be Afraid.

He holds every minute of this day & His grace & timing are perfect.

You can abandon all your cares because Christ will never, ever abandon you. You can abandon your fears and abide in the safe expanse of Your Father.

So we’re just going to go all out & Trust & be brave: It takes courage to listen with our whole heart to the tick of God’s timing, rather than march to the loud beat of our fears.

 

[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]

‪ Dare to fully live!

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
