....I love this quote - my sister shared it to me recently when I was having a bit of an anxiety attack. Fear is such an interesting emotion. I feel it, have have no idea where it is coming from or why it is crippling me. God talks a lot about fear in the Bible, I think because he knows how devastating its effect is on our lives. I am fighting and battling fear as of light. I made a really hard decision recently, all the while frought with fear about the consequences my decision could cause, and how blight my future could become. Thats when my sister stepped in with this word for me, and I have repeated it to myself over and over - knowing and trusting that God is a good God, and works everything out for good for those who love him. The more time I spend with the Lord I start to feel the fear in my heart crumbling, and goodness is it a good feeling! I don't ever want to live in fear of things ever again, Jeremiah 29:11, Phillipians 4:8,Proverbs 3:5-6, the Psalms and many other verses have all been a great comfort to me which I am storing in my heart. I want to be fully formed in love...if you have any advice which has helped you to do this please don't hesitate to pass it on.
