i have this desire to change the world. to make a difference. to be remembered. to change someone’s life. to simply … love people. in my … naive way of thinking, i often believe that love really can change the world! however, when i think of the things in my life that i want to do … i find myself sometimes taking steps backwards. not the kind that take me out of the race. i step back to breathe. to wonder if i’m cut out to accomplish what i’m put on this beautiful planet to do. my mind wonders (as it often does!), my heart beats a little faster … and then the fear creeps in. i feel overwhelmed & ill-fitted for the life i am living. yet, i know that i can not stay in this place. so, i question the big guy upstairs, the only one who truly has the answers i am seeking. He simply reminds me that i can do all things, because He has put strength inside of me! He reminds me that He is the one who has placed the dreams and desires in my heart! He reminds me that i am fearfully and wonderfully made in His image! He knows that fear resides in my heart, so he tells me not to be afraid, because perfect love casts out fear! At the sound of His voice, i find myself letting go of all my fears & excuses. I simply … take a deep breath … grab His hand … and keep walking! :)
till next time … x
