THE DOOR OF FEAR
is OPENED wide,
just waiting to swallow you up
because
you
are
FEARING
this and that
and that and this.
But then you see
THE DOOR OF DO NOT FEAR.
It isn't OPEN,
as you have to
turn the doorknob
and choose to OPEN IT.
But it is so much easier to
walk through
THE OPEN DOOR OF FEAR
because it is so
INVITING,
because
it is already OPENED.
So why would you OPEN
the DOOR OF DO NOT FEAR?
But then again, why wouldn't you?
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name; you are MINE!
When you pass through the waters, I WILL BE with you; And through the rivers, THEY WILL NOT overflow you. When you walk through the fire, YOU WILL NOT BE scorched..."*
Now why wouldn't you
OPEN THE DOOR OF
DO NOT FEAR
when you see
DO NOT FEAR
as an
INVITATION
from
THE ONE AND ONLY
who tells you to
DO NOT FEAR?
“For I am the LORD your GOD, The HOLY ONE of Israel, your SAVIOR" *(Isaiah 43:1-3).
But GOD isn't the only ONE
who is telling you to
DO NOT FEAR,
as
HIS SON
stands at THE DOOR
and reaches out
HIS HAND
to you,
INVITING
you to
TAKE THE STEP
to
FACE your FEAR
WITH THE ONE
who
is
INVITING you to
"Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid"
(Matthew 14:27).
Therefore,
"I WILL FEAR NO MORE"
(listen to the song below)
