One day you sit down and realize that you have let go of the light of Faith and allowed the darkness of fear to rule your life. Instead of soaring like an eagle you are trapped in your nest afraid to fly even though where you are now isn't comfortable. How did you get from walking confidently towards your God ordained destiny and stumbling around in the dark?
Fear - False Evidence Appearing Real
Faith - the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1)
When you live a life of fear everything that can go wrong does because it is all that you see. Faith filled living looks towards the good. When you speak good that is what you get.
I have been stumbling for what feels like years through life. My confidence in myself and my dreams had dwindled and snuffed out. The embodiment of spring that was my optimism was gone. I could no longer believe in the unseen. I believed in God but not really in His promises. I was still a Christian but a poor one at that.
It's hard living like this. It brings on a spirit of depression that only fully reaffirming your faith can heal. It took a long time after realizing what was happening to even believe truthfully in me again. I didn't realize that the God I believed in loved me enough to help me out of this mess.
2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that we are to live in love not fear. Living in love means living in faith. I am just truly coming to see how it works. It means not letting anyone or anything that is not of God to speak into your life. This can be truly hard as we live in a negative world.
Until next time keep 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
The Diarist
For every moment was meant to be taken in and reflected upon...
