Three Words To Live By This Year
Three words to live by this year:
be not afraid.
today i will live out those ancient words.
i will be not afraid as fear begins to flood my mind and water rises with my worry.
i will be not afraid as i think about the future and the questions that begin to ring loud.
i will be not afraid as i lay down dreams that have slowly started to die and i’m left holding one word: why?
i will be not afraid as i plant seeds and water new dreams and pray they come to be.
i will be not afraid of the Enemy or his tricks or the night because i know that joy comes with the morning light.
and it is always almost morning.
i will be not afraid of the unknown because i will continue to remember that i am known.
and i will be not afraid as we continue to make our way through
all that is heavy,
and all that is here,
and all that is holy.
i will be not afraid for the Father has called me His.
i will be not afraid for Christ died only to rise and He will come again.
i will be not afraid for the Spirit lives within and moves me to be not afraid.
i will hold tight to these three words:
be not afraid.
as they still and forever hold true.
as they still and forever lead us beyond what we know to be true.
With hope,
Tanner
