All these quotes and lyrics have been a huge part of who I am in life. I am someone who is terrified of many things but my soul awakens in that moment that terror meets reality and a peace rushes over me. I am okay with picking up my life and moving. I am okay with wandering. I am okay with moving forward. But only if God holds my hand.
I have learned over the past few years that God is the only constant that I need. The strongest parts of me come from Him. The things I dream of, he already has planned for me. The things I could only imagine, he gives me courage for. He makes me brave. He makes me free.
Being brave isn't about what you do. It's not about some daring adventure that your excited to take. Bravery- by definition- is being ready to face and edure danger pain while showing courage. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens us.
So in that sense. Isn't bravery faith?
God calls us to deeper waters with him, but he never leaves us there. He makes us brave. He gives us peace.
It's a refreshing peace to know that God never calls us where he isn't. He never leads us where he won't go.
I feel God changing my course yet again and this time I am more scared then before, not because I do not trust him, but because I do not trust myself. But that isn't what this life is about in my opinion. It's not about running or staying put, it's about facing fear and anxiety head on to get to the next place that God is calling us to. Even if we are scared to death.
If this was your last year on earth, what would you want to do with it? Would you follow your passion and follow God? Or would you stay where you are?
If you feel you are truly where God wants you, then praise him and keep up the good work. Don't get complacent. Trust him to deeper your understanding of him and delight yourself in him.
If you feel you aren't yet where God wants you, then what is stopping you from getting there? We serve a God who tore the veil so we don't have to stand apart anymore. Be brave. Be strong. Have courage. Trust and have faith.
So much love and blessings,
Lexie
