Fear.


FEAR: 
noun a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil,pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. foreboding,apprehension, consternation, dismay, dread, terror, fright,panic, horror, trepidation, qualm. courage,security, calm, intrepidity.

Fear. It grips us and stops us from doing the things we wanna do. It could be a fear of spiders that stops you from showering, or it may be a fear of small spaces that won't let you go in an elevator, or it may be something worse like a fear of failure which just stops you from doing anything cos' you don't wanna fail at it. Yep, fears are horrible things. They are often caused by past experiences and make you afraid to do something.

But, if you look at the definition of fear, then see the antonyms of fear, you'll see the words COURAGE, SECURITY, CALM and INTREPIDITY. These are the kind of words that remind me of God. Yep because God says in his word that we have been given all of these things through Him!

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV)

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.


Yep, so pretty much God has given me everything I need to overcome my fears and now I am fearless through Him! Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world so nothing can stop me from doing anything now. Thanks God :)
