Did you know that fear is a learned trait? You were born in the image of Love, so your natural reaction is actually to love.
Then life happens and you learn how to fear moments, people, and perhaps most of all when there is ‘nothing’ happening at all. When you look for easy ways out of the struggle or make excuses for struggling at all, you’re reacting out of fear.
Once you train the mind to respond with fear, it takes effort to overcome the thought of a threat with faith. Faith that God’s word is true; He will never fail you or leave you, but guide you through the darkest of days.
In the face of heartache and pain, He is on your side and that’s all you need. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Ps. 23:6)
Consciously choose love. You were born for it.
