"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine" Isaiah 43:1
Jesus teaches His disciples to believe in Him (John 6:29) and to do what He says (Matthew 7 24-27). He often tells them "Do not worry" (Matthew 6 25-26) and "Do not be afraid" (1 Peter 3:14). Jesus understands human need and weakness and the doubts and anxieties that can assail us (Hebrews 4:15).
To believe is to decide to choose truth (Deut 30:19). To be worry and fear free is to focus on God and trust Him and walk in His ways (Matthew 26 36-45). Jesus tells us to throw off that which easily entangles (Hebrews 12 1-3) and to deny the sinful nature (Romans 7:18, Colossians 3:5) with it's tendency to fail and to choose to 'put on' the new self; (Ephesians 4, Colossians 3) that which displays Christ.
We can choose what our outer and inner beings are clothed in - and help others to do likewise.
What do you look like on the inside? is it Godly? is it not? ....... 'What is on the inside does leak out!'
Take time to bring your thoughts and feelings to Christ and ask Him for sanctification through and through. (1 Thess 5 4-26). Decide to do away with ungodliness and choose Life! Pray for peace and His anointing to keep yourself in Christ's love. (Jude 1 21)
"Father God I wonder how I managed to exist without the knowledge of your parenthood and your loving care, now I am your child I am adopted in your family and I can never be alone 'cos Father God you're there beside me. I will sing your praises, I will sing your praises, I will sing your praises, for evermore. I will sing your praises, I will sing your praises, I will sing your praises for evermore." [Ian Smale]
