A reminder for
today
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
This weekend I explained to my kids what is about to happen
and how this new change will affect their lives. This is a conversation I have
had with myself a thousand times in the last few weeks and it was still one of
the hardest moments in my life and one that will stay with me for a very long
time. I made sure that they had the whole picture, but it was important to me
that they understand they will be safe and that all will be fine. To be honest
I had no idea how to approach this and how to go about it, but I guess the
Spirit of the Lord the guided me carefully through the whole process.
Of all the things this is one of the worst times in my life
and probably the one thing that has send my mind into turmoil over and over
again. I have never felt this lost before and I have never been so afraid of
what to expect and what to do. I could feel the enemy launching one attack
after the next fighting to pull me under and to break what is left of me.
Paul writes here that we do not have a spirit of fear. We
have a spirit of power and love and a sound mind. Now I can confirm this,
because in the past few weeks I could feel my spirit fighting every attack and
every negative word and every fear. I could feel my body is weak, but my spirit
keeps fighting. When my mind was in turmoil my spirit remined strong giving me
a sound mind in moments where I was just nowhere.
My relationship with the Lord has grown exponentially in
past few months and the enemy know this. So, I am not surprised that he is throwing
everything in to get to me. Once again, I can declare that I have a spirit of
power and that I will not fear what lies ahead. I will not worry about tomorrow,
because I have a promise in Jesus that He will look after me and that I will be
fine. I have a sound mind because of the spirit that lives in me and the peace I
have knowing that my redeemer lives.
Sometimes we should just stop and stand still for a moment
and just inhale His presence. You are born to be victorious. Do not give up. Do
not stop and do not be afraid. Live for Him and love like Him.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
