Therefore, we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (Hebrews 13:6)
Now, there's some encouragement.
It's hard to believe sometimes that all you have to do is trust in this one thing, one being, and no one can touch you. Live the way you were meant to (which is the best for you, anyway) and you become, in a sense, invincible. Love everyone you encounter and simply soak up the blessings that are, in turn, placed upon you.
Sure it's hard sometimes but the only things you're giving up are the things that were leading you to a downfall anyway..
God's opinion is the only one that matters, and when you have that in mind throughout your life everything, literally, just falls into place. And regardless of what's going on around you, you're always..joyful. Always.
Hard to believe? Maybe. But is it true? Yes.
Being loved by Him whose opinion matters most gives us the security to risk loving too--even loving ourselves. (Gloria Gaither)
That is very encouraging, and well said. Makes me think. It is amazing how hard it is to have faith and trust in God when it really is pretty simple. Nice picture too.
