  “My one purpose in life is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which, I believe, comes through knowing Christ.”

Fear is an Option

Feed your fears, and your faith will starve.  Feed your faith, and your fears will!

That’s what Jeremiah did.  He said, “I am a man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.”   Jerusalem was under siege.  His world collapsed like a sand castle in a typhoon.  His body ached.  His heart was sick.  And Jeremiah faulted God for his horrible emotional distress.  But when he realized how fast he was sinking, he shifted his gaze.

He said, “But this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.” Jeremiah altered his thoughts, shifted his attention.  He turned his eyes and looked into the wonder of God.  His troubles didn’t cease, but his discouragement did.

Storms are not an option… but fear is! …Max Lucado

Thoughts:

.. Refuse to settle for anything less than everything God has for you.

.. Don’t ever give up just because someone tells you that you can’t succeed.

.. “The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore”…Vincent Van Gogh.

.. God uses difficulties to make us people He can trust and people He can use.
