You Don't Have to be Afraid!

Have you ever met an infant that wasn't full of joy and happiness? If you have ever worked with a Down's syndrome child or other handicaps like that, what most will say their happiness spills over in all they do. I loved my daughter's Grandpa's saying, as he was in his final days, "If I was any better I couldn't stand it!" I don't know about you, but I love being around appreciative people and desire to be more like them!


In a world that is fraught with death, destruction and the likes how is that possible to the "thinking " mind, as my husband would say? Faith as a child is what the bible says. Trusting in a living God that knows all of our needs and is directing our paths.

Where is your hope, focus and attention being paid? We are all filling our minds with something. What do you read, listen to or focus on? Philippians 4:8. "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Ya think things have really changed?

We all have room to doubt and fear, but God's word promises a better life than that. Are we going to hold onto the known, or embrace the unknown, and trust God in his soverignty. Our choice.....

I don't have to be afraid, even though I walk through the valley of death, there may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning!

"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" Psalm 118:24. God needs you on his scene everyday to spread his love! What are you waiting for?
