It paralyzes.
It keeps us from change.
It holds us back.
It freezes us in a dark place.
It hits us at the times when we are closest to progress.
It's part of perfectionism. That lie that says we are not good enough. It hits us in our weakness. It attacks is in our strengths...
Why? Why? Why?
Because you are made for FREEDOM...you have great worth...you are loved beyond measure...you are NEVER forgotten.
Do we fall? Yes!
But so did Christ under the heaviest of weights. He listened to and heard all the lies that we hear whispered on a daily basis while he walked Calvary...
He fell, he struggled, he prayed the night before...he sweat blood in agony because he knew what lay ahead of him. So how does this relate to you?
He did this so YOU could find Freedom. He fights the ugly battle. He won the war. He battled the biggest lie that you can imagine. He faught it...and he won!
So what us the antidote to fear? Gratitude. Saying thank you. Thank you for his love for us. Thank you for the daily battle that forces us to lean on his love. Thank you for our weaknesses where he can truly shine his love and presence. Thankfulness for the victories that we have DAILY, but often miss.
Gratitude lets LOVE shine through. Today that LOVE paid the ultimate price because YOU are worth it. So today...embrace the antidote to FEAR...have Gratitude and the LOVE himself will embrace you.
