For the longest time I have absolutely loved the quote, "Fear is the absence of Faith!" but just this past week it has taken on a whole new meaning to me.
I struggle with what other people think of me. I'm sure we all do to some extent! I let myself get scared and clam up when I am given the opportunity to speak to someone about the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that is wrong. That is me, letting myself think that I know better than God, and I don't! I needed to learn to "Walk by Faith".
As you can probably tell from my last post, faith has been on my mind a lot lately. So when I found this continuation of the above quote I quite nearly giggled with giddy.
"Fear is the absence of Faith! It is our responsibility to be faithFULL and the Lord will make us fearLESS!"
Isn't that cool!!! :) What an amazing principle! The Lord is all powerful and can do all things! He expects us to decide ;) to have the faith that we can do all things through Him, and that is when He will bless us by taking away the fear!!
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." -Phillipians 4:13
I can teach this person about the plan of salvation! I can invite this person to be baptized! I can do hard things because I have the faith that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is by my side!
Thanks for readin'!
Love, Sister Petersen
