“The Lord is my Strength and my salvation whom shall I fear.” Psalm 27:1

Updated: Sep 22

 

I use to be afraid of the dark, of heights, of bugs, of being alone in a room by myself, of dead people, (Just visiting a cemetery terrorized me.  Did I think the graves would open up and the people would say, “Boo!”  I don’t know.) , of speaking in front of people, sharing my thoughts with others.  You name it, I was afraid of it!  The very first time I was invited to give my personal testimony at a woman’s prayer luncheon I was so excited.  I wondered what I would share with the women; maybe how God had healed me of an incurable disease, or how He brought Kenny through colon cancer without chemotherapy or radiation.  Wow, I had so much to share. I queried my mind and others I asked my sister, “ What do you think I should share?” 





Her suggestion was that I might tell others how God brought me out of vanity.  “Well! I thought I guess I better ask my mom her opinion!”  So I said, “Mom, how do you think I have changed since coming into a personal relationship with Jesus?”  I remember the moment in my kitchen as if it happened this morning.  My mom replied, “Well, you’re not afraid anymore.”  “She’s right!”, I thought, “I’m not afraid anymore!”  It came about so quietly.  As I focused on Jesus and His love for me and served Him and loved Him with all of my heart there was no longer room for fear in my life!  God’s “…perfect love cast out all fear.” 1 John 4:18. I am no longer afraid!
