Went I was a kid, I forget for a brief years the word ‘ fear’ in the dictionary of my childhood’s life, well, except, I’m fear of one thing… one spot… one area… toilet! Yes, that dark gloomy toilet stands still near the jungle of our old house – creepy. It was creepier once the evening came. No light, just a candle stand. No radio (of course) but only the sound of jungle’s residences. I always imagine that there was a monster, rather; a giant hand might come out from the toilet bowl anytime I would enter the toilet’s chamber. That ancient toilet was where my fears occupied. I never forget how I’m paralyzed by the fear of entering that ancient toilet.
………
Does fear haunted you lately? Does fear creeping you out, left you in the darkness, making strange sounds, monstering around and waving his giant hand at the entrance of your life like that old ancient toilet does to me? I know you have one like mine; in fact, I suspect that you ‘owned’ it.
“Fear,” explained pastor and writer, Max Lucado, “never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or a business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors.”
Do you want to walk out of it?
Do you want to walk out of it?
He continues, “Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision the day when you can trust more and fear less.”
……………
Prior to my fear for that ancient toilet, with a stolen Bible (from my aunt’s room) on my young tender hand, when my English is limited to only ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘thank you’ and ‘okay’; my heart stir to write and memorize this part of the Scripture, “Don’t be afraid” (Isaiah 41:10) and I did! I walk out facing my fear with the knowledge that I should trust God more than any external voices in the world. Trust more and fear less.
Maybe you should write and memorize this too: “Don’t be Afraid” Trust more and fear less. (P.s: Jesus said that!)
Regards,
Rich
