A letter to my fears

I was inspired by Fresh Flowers today and thought I would write my own letter.

To my fears,

I know there are days when you get the better of me (like today) but you know what? That’s ok. You can try and knock me down and you might even keep me there for a while. But I won’t stay there. You know why? Because deep down inside I know I am loved and accepted by the God of the universe. And He accepts me even when I give in to my fears. I am not a disappointment to Him.

Though I forget it at times, deep down I know that “I am enough” (thank you, Brene Brown). I am in process. In the process of walking out from under shame (and from that, fear) into the Truth of the Light that says I.am.loved…period…no strings attached…no requirements to live up to. And when I sit in that Truth fear has no grip on me. It can’t. “There is no fear in love…” (1 John 4:18).

So take your best shot, fears. You may win a few battles but you will never win this war.
