No Longer Afraid...

What can I say about this week? I am not exactly sure, but I will say that something has happened to me. I almost missed it, because it was not obvious and slowly crept upon me. I discovered that I am not afraid. 

I am no longer afraid of the consequences or outcomes of being me. I no longer feel the need to convince others of who or what I am! Nor prove what I can or cannot do in accordance or comparison to others. The Lord had something in mind when He thought of me and He didn't miscalculate nor slip-up. I am necessary. Whoa!! Did you feel that?!! That just took my breathe away!! I have to say that again...I am necessary! Good God, Almighty! One last time...I am necessary!

What does this mean, I wonder? How will this translate and what will be the end result? I don't know, but I am reminded of something the Lord said to me early one morning. He said, "Because there is no fear in me, there is nothing that I cannot do"!!

Taking that statement into full consideration, it is clear that fear, in its torment and intimidation, is nothing more than failure multiplied! It is a coward...it cannot produce...neither can it multiply in its limitation! Fear has no strength of its own and its might is empowered by the freedom we decide to give it to reign in our very lives!

This stands to reason that the Lord's unlimited ability to create anything He puts His thoughts and words to is founded by the fact that He is Love—fear's polar opposite!

There is no fear or failure in Love and because there are manifold heights, depths, widths and breadths to its nature, it means there are also manifold heights, depths, widths and breadths to its success! 

Now it is becoming clear to me why we must be rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus Christ, because it is there where we have the fullness of God--which is absolutely infallible!! And if our Heavenly Father is infallible, so are we in this world as His heirs! 

Forget about being exceptional—let's disinherit fear and breach it’s promise in our lives so that we can forever be infallible!!

BOOM!! And might I add...BAM!!
