Fear Not.

Is anyone ever curious about why we are afraid of certain things?

Like why am I afraid of tiny little spiders?

They are so small.

Yes, they are really icky.

They have too many legs. 

And some are super poisonous and could KILL me. 

But most are harmless.

(...right?)

Or why are we all so afraid of other people?

Why do we care so much what other people think of us?

When I meet someone new, I'm not gonna lie, I'm usually stressin!

Did they think I was funny?

Do they think I'm stupid?

Did they like my shirt?

ETC...ETC...ETC...

And, yes to some degree I should care what others think of me, but not quite to that extent.

Ya know?

So what if they think I'm funny. 

I think I'm funny.

So what if they think I'm stupid.

I KNOW I'm stupid.

So what if they like my shirt. 

If I'm wearing it, then obviously I like it.

It's always really freaky when you realize what it is you are TRULY afraid of.

Just recently I've realized just how afraid I am of getting cancer.

I would say that cancer is something that is so real in everyone's lives that I'm sure we've all thought what if I get cancer?

But I would say it's a hardcore fear of mine.

At certain times in my life that fear has almost consumed. 

And for several reasons I would say it's a completely legitimate fear. 

But that doesn't give me any excuse to give into that fear. 

If I do get cancer or not it's what the Lord has for my life.

Who am I to question Him?

I have the power of the Lord Almighty fighting in my corner. 

What could possibly ever happen to me that He couldn't defeat?

What could cancerous cells do to me that He couldn't reverse?

What do I have to fear?

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

"In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Psalm 56:11

That's all I need to know.
