BREAKING FEAR

2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control"

We went for earing hunting today. It is for Constance ears as she needs a proper earing for the new earing hole that she is having.

The challenge is, she is afraid of the pain. Since the hole is considerably new, there is a slight of pain that she is experiencing everytime we clean or trying to open the existing earing.

It always took us a while to convince her. And today, sitting at the shop she fall on the same mode. Myself and my wife were trying to convinced her to change her earing with the new one. But she refused and start tearing.

Fear seems creeping to her mind. The fear of pain.

After all the effort, she asked to be prayed (she always asked to be prayed over when she felt fear). Holding my hand, while the mother and shop assistant helping to replace both earing, we finally made it. She has the new earing now.

This incident allows me to remember how as human we need to (always) remind ourselves about fear. That God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

That we don't need to fear as Isaiah 41:10 said -  "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"

That prayer conquers all fear. Psalm 56:3-4 said "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?"

That after the conquering fear, we will renew our strength, that we will get the price (our new earing).

To God be the glory! In Him there is No Fear only Love. What a day full of blessing. Thanks Constance.
