Matthew 14:27
“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid,”
Be not afraid
Have you experienced something so fearful that made your
heart beats faster; that you can’t even make a move for it can trigger the
pain; that your mind seems to yell “This is terrible, you can’t do it.”; that
your head went left and right, up and down, looking for someone to give you
courage.. looking for someone who can understand that you’re afraid and you
need someone to hold on to; that knowing someone is there for you, is enough to
calm your fear.
We all need someone; someone who will give us strength in
moments of fear and in our weaknesses. We need to see someone beside us when we
are in fear. Someone who will never leave us until the fear subsides. Someone
who will fight the fear with you and someone who will say “Don’t be afraid, I am
here.”
You may say that not all the time there will be someone. Yes,
you are right! People can fail us. We tend to fail eachother. We have this
tendency to be selfish and mind our own problems. And sometimes, even the
person who loves you, the one you thought who’ll be there with you when you’re
down and afraid, can’t be with you. And that’s the time you become more afraid.
But I know Someone, Someone who will never leave us
especially in moments of fear. His name is JESUS.
You might be facing something that causes you so much fear. I
don’t know what it is and I don’t know how fearful it is for you. All I know is
that Jesus is beside you; trying to lift you with His hand and saying “be not
afraid, I am here.”
All you have to do is to trust Him. How come you trust
people and not trust your God? Let Him handle whatever fear you have. Don’t fight
His hands, He’s trying to lift you. Listen to Him, He’s telling you to not be
afraid.
Remember that God is more than enough to calm your fear. Be not
afraid.
