Overcoming FearSample

OVERCOMING FEAR - KNOW WHOSE YOU ARE 

The Lord says to us, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name. You are mine.” 
 

Why do I fear? It's because of all that is unknown to me! I can't know what's going to happen in the future. I can't know exactly what others think of or expect of me. But...

What people say or think about us as human beings doesn't determine who we are.

Say you have a $100 dollar note. If you crumpled and stomped on this note it doesn't diminish its value, right? It's still valuable as currency. The same is true in our lives.
As we go through life, people may put us down or speak things about us, making us feel like we have no value. But God sees you as His child! To him You are well able and you are good enough!

As I struggle with fears, doubts, and anxious thoughts, the only comfort I have is knowing that God says that He loves me, that I'm good enough, and that I can do anything through His strength, which is at work in me.
