I will not fear the day the Lord comes down. I will not fear to use the gospel. I will not fear the deep love around me. I will not fear. I've started realizing a lot of things lately, most of them center around fear. So now, I make the proclamation that I will not fear. Fear runs lives. Fear ruins lives. No, I didn't repeat myself. Read that more carefully.
Fear runs lives. Fear ruins lives.
Living in fear is not any longer something I will let happen. I can't. It's not a viable option for my success. It's not a viable success for anyone's success. Yet, people live in fear or failing, of loving, of dreaming, of chasing bigger things in life. Why? Because that's how society is molding us. We are such a generation where we're so stressed to do more and more and do perfectly at it. Anything less than a 99 out of 100 is unacceptable and having a job you hate but pays well is the new normal.
What happened to passion? What happened to it being alright to relax? Stress makes fear real. Fear makes stress real. I say that we eliminate stress and fear and call it fine. I'm tired of driving all night on this road of uncertainty when there's a whole lot more happening in this life for me to see.
Yet, part of me craves to be relevant with this culture, and I certainly couldn't do that if I lived without fear. What's my dilemma? Should I find something to fear?
Oh wait, I have... His name is God. I fear him to my core.
So really, I am relevant.
