whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
Fear nothing in this life for the Lord is our light and shining grace. He is all any of us or need. We are in this world but not of it and we are not to be so shocked and dismayed when we feel like outcasts at our place of employment or even in social settings. Many people avoid any conversation that is about spirituality for they do not want to be lectured or as they say, "preached to death". Most people that know my husband and I know we are a Christian couple that live our life by the Word and His commandments. We desire to listen and obey and do what is right according to His Word. And we do not compromise our faith for anything nor for anyone. If someone is offended by my faith, then I will pray for them but distance myself for I will not allow any influence that is not of His will in to my life or that of my husband's. Are we looked upon as holier than thou? Probably. Do people think we are boring now or are we excluded from socials because we don't drink or smoke or involve ourselves in worldly things? Everyday. But we both agree that He is worth it and we are living more wholesome and meaningful lives now. The bible should never be viewed as "a book of don't's" for there are many rewarding things to living a life for God. And one of the greatest is His gift of peace and no fear. I am not afraid for I know if God can be for me than who on earth can be against me and if He has me in the palm of His hand, then to whom or what could I ever be afraid of? If something goes our way, then we win and if the Lord decides it wasn't best for us, then we win because we know it was of His will. Therefore we live very serene and peaceful lives now, uncomplicated and void of stress. So someone you know may see a child of God as boring or weird, but we see ourselves as loved and highly favored and we pray each and every day for those that are in the dark. And may this be the day they say yes to Jesus!
