DO NOT FEAR!

He talked with such love. As he talked sadness filled his eyes but joy came from his spirit.  Him and his wife had lost their infant child, and instead of letting it destroy them they used it to inspire. The show he produced on AGT, in his daughters name, was breathtaking.  It was then that a flood of emotion over took me.  Have you ever had a time when God opens your eyes to where you have sinned?  Our company is  being audited by the comptrollers office.  One thing about any audit is stress.  Stress over the outcome, stress over giving up control.  So stress has been a large part of my life for several months.  More than any other declaration by Christ was the term “do not fear”.  Three hundred and sixty five times!  Why do we not listen to him when he speaks? Why do we not trust in his promises and lean on his strength? We live with such comfort. Such privilege. When something threatens that perceived entitlement it causes us worry. As I watched the dad and the tragedy they have been through I fell to my knees and wept uncontrollably. My lack of trust in our Savior! My irresponsible behavior of not counting my blessings hit me square in the face.  I asked for forgiveness, of not trusting his care and believing in his grace. We are only human, but daily we should take inventory of what he has given and trust he will provide. He always has and always will. The stress is gone!   

I Love You! Perry
