Fear III

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:7)

One way to understand how valuable you are to God is to consider the great price He paid to set you free -- the life of his only begotten son for sinners like us. Not even a good earthly parent would allow his child who
trusted in him to be harmed. God loves you more than any earthly parent ever loved their child -- and God has the power to fully protect you. So you can trust in Him. But when we act in fear, we run from the protection of our
wonderful Father God and open the door to our enemy. We should be free from fear because God is for us and watches out for us. The worst that can happen to us (from a worldly perspective) is to die, but even then we will go to be with Christ. With God on your side, there is really nothing to fear. Yes, there will be struggles. There will be trials. But these are just opportunities to overcome and gain eternal rewards. In all we face in life, God has promised to be with us, and to help us. So what is there to fear?
