Do not be afraid

from the blog OneRoofAfrica.com: "Old habits--like clutching your food so no one else at the orphanage takes it from you--die hard."


Reading again about Sterling's understandable fear reminded me of something a woman I highly admire used to say to her often fearful and anxious son: "Joshua, don't be afraid." Not long-winded, but straight to the point and a good reminder. How often does God have to whisper that to us?

Often.

"Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid..."

-from the song, "A New Law", by Derek Webb
