One of the biggest challenges I faced before accepting Christ as Lord was fear. At every turn fear was there. Fear of dying. Fear of failing. Fear of not pleasing someone. Fear of not living a purposeful life. Fear of not being loved. Fear of Fear! How crazy is that? Do you understand though? Fear descended on me from every direction and kept me prisoner. However, as Christ drew me near He showed me something spectacular- something that after some time caused me to fall right into His arms. He showed me that I belonged to Him and that I had nothing to fear. WOW! What a feeling. Read these words Paul wrote in Romans 8:15-
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba Father".
When we go to Him broken and full of fear- falling into His arms, HE ADOPTS US AS HIS SONS! We then cry "Abba Father" knowing that He will care for us.
If you've never fallen into His arms- I urge you to now. Tell him that you're lost without him and full of fear. Tell him you're sorry and need his forgiveness. Tell him you want to live for him. And then settle into "Abba Fathers" arms and let Him love you.
