On this very first day of summer I am excited for this season and all that God will reveal about who He is and how He loves. New seasons often bring changes and one change that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to my heart is separation from fear. This world is changing tremendously with every rotation on its axis and I’d be untruthful if I said I have not been afraid.
Whether my fear has come from what others may think of my values when they don’t align with their norms, or whether I would be thought of as weird because of my affection for Jesus, fear has definitely had a front row ticket to this life of mine. But, no more. God does not need me by any stretch of the imagination but he wants to use me, and I want to be obedient. (Read why I began this blog in the first place, here)
The Body of Christ is never to fear, but instead to trust God. There is work to be done for the Kingdom of God and my soul is like an excited child yelling “God send me, please pick me.” Yes, I am overjoyed for this season both literally and figuratively. I will walk in obedience to Christ, therefore, the spirit of fear shall not dwell here.
The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strong hold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? -Psalm 27:1
