We live by faith
and not by sight! 2 Cor. 5:7
Unlike any other book, the Bible
is God's living, eternal Word, filled with absolute promises that enable us to
live an extraordinary life with no fear. However, because we do have weak
moments when we do feel afraid, we have only to call upon the Lord, to read His
words and see His promises to bask in the peace and security He freely gives.
Regardless of our circumstances,
He will never leave or forsake us. Not only that, He awaits for us at the door
of our mansion in Heaven with a perfectly fitted robe of righteousness, washed
in the Blood of the Lamb. Hallelujah!
At a meeting, the leader, when
talking about our feelings said, “Feelings are neither right or wrong, they
just are!” At first some of those present stood against his description but
after considering what he said, they all agreed it was true. Feelings are part
of who we are but when they cause misdirection, confusion, fear, or more
negative responses, we know they are to be controlled. And only God can come to
the rescue. He can replace negative feelings with His promises of care and
eternal salvation.
John
11:25-26 25Jesus said to her, "I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he
dies; 26and
whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John
10:10-11 I came that [you] may have
life, and have it abundantly. 11"I
am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

Peter 1:3-5 3 All praise to God, the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been
born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with
great expectation, 4 and
we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you,
pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith,
God is protecting you by His power until you receive this salvation,
which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
John
10:27-30 27 My sheep listen to my
voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never
perish. No one can snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given
them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch
them from the Father’s hand. 30 The
Father and I are one.”
John
6:35-40 35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever
comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty. 36 But
you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. 37 However, those the
Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. 38 For I have come down
from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. 39 And this is the will
of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that
I should raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son
and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last
day.”

John 4:4 4 But you belong to God, my
dear children. You have already won a victory over those people (false
teachers, spirit of the anti-christ), because the Spirit who lives in you is
greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
Romans
8:38 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our
fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can
separate us from God’s love.

Corinthians 5:17 17 This means that anyone who
belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has
begun!
Matthew
11:28-30 28 Then Jesus
said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I
will give you rest. 29 Take
my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give
you is light.”
The
teenage boy told his father, “Dad, I don’t feel like mowing the lawn today.” To
which his father replied, “Then I guess I don’t feel like feeding you dinner.”
