We have spoken about complexions; shyness and today we will
be talking about fear. Not the kind of afraid of the dark fear, but the many
fears that have been part of your interior just as once have taken part of
mine.
When I had my encounter with Jesus, I thought I had to be
perfect, that I couldn’t make any mistakes, no one ever told me that not even
God demands that of us, it was something that I myself invented.
Due to my desire of wanting to please God so much, I would fear
making a mistake, doing something that may shame Jesus, and I would charge
myself when that would happen.
Many people have lived within the church, but have been
surrounded by fear and those fears prevent them from advancing in their spiritual
life, as a person, as a servant, and in every aspect.
Analyze yourself to see if you have been dominated by fear:
-
fear to make a mistake
-
fear of being misunderstood
-
fear of being criticized
-
fear of being judged
-
fear of striking out
-
fear of losing
Who can move with so many fears? No one, the person remains
as if they were chained, and can’t move, can’t act, they become prisoners
within themselves, in their own thoughts.
Everything in their life rotates around fear, many don’t
speak out, don’t express their opinions, don’t take action, not because they
are timid but due to fear of the things I mentioned above.
Free yourself of those fears my friend, Jesus didn’t call us
to be slaves but to be free. Don’t be afraid of being yourself, of making a
mistake, what is the problem? Learn from your mistakes and go forward, don’t
torture yourself, don’t punish yourself, go and don’t do that no more, that is
it.
Be free of all weight, of all fears. The solution is in God
and in your strength of will.
Next Wednesday we will talk about insecurities.
How about you, what fear do you carry? Leave your comments.
