There are many dangers to living a life when you have insecurity issues. An insecurity is a fear. We have so many things we can be afraid of too. We can be fearful about tomorrow, fearful for our future, fearful for the need of income, fearful for the unknown, fearful for our children, fearful for disease, fearful for conflict and the list goes on and on how fears can manifest themselves in our lives. In the spirit of Christmas, I want to share two words..... FEAR NOT. Its a simple word but its not a simple concept to grasp. All of us have this side of us where our insecurities play out. We arent as confident about ourselves, we devalue our selves, we go into our pity parties, fill our lives with wrongful shame and basically say, Throw me out with the garbage! May Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie was a Jewish mother who constantly played the role of victim. Let me tell you how dangerous this role can be. It can lead to real depression, it can negate anything good, it can make mountains out of mole hills and it plays into the scheme of our greatest enemy who wants to rob, steal and destroy us. Did you know you have any enemy? You do. But the words for the day is FEAR NOT and the word goes on to say, BEHOLD I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS! Now think about how powerful this word is. You are not alone, you dont have to have inner conflict driving you to wrongful conclusions about yourself. You are not EYORE in Winnie The Pooh who has to walk around in his melancholy state of being. Dont let someone tell you that you are not important, you are. God loves you. I love you and so do people who know you. For those who dont love you, its their loss and we can pray for them and even love them. Can you imagine what it means to love your enemies? You can. Many of you are facing giants. Some have stage 4 cancer, some have a recent death in your life, some have experienced enormous tragedy and some are facing imprisonment. How can you get over these things? FEAR NOT. Begin with the decision to not be afraid. Choose to hold up your head, forget that victim mentality and move boldly with God, trust Him for your future. The world may be spinning around you and you are scared about what the morning may bring. If this is you, email me, write me and let me pray for you. If you want to share a horrible future in front of you, then write me and let me just speak your name to my God. I have confidence He can fix anything. Yes I am insane for a Heavenly Father who loves me in spite of my fallen nature. Can I tell you that I dont deserve heaven. I dont deserve that any man would lay down His life for me. I dont deserve mercy and forgiveness. I cant work hard enough or be good enough to make the grade in life and pass with the right colors because at my core, I am a person who has so many faults. However, it doesnt mean I am sinless...I just sin less because I am a work in progress, under construction kind of man who believes that if I FEAR NOT....then HE will help me through it all. Steven Curtis Chapman wrote a beautiful song called I WILL BE HERE and it was a song of comfort, of peace and of love. Just know in the morning, when you wake up, HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. Thank you so much for your prayers, for your friendship and for being willing to read these long blogs of transparency. Your words have lifted me up more than you will ever know. Peace, Kevin
