Fighting That Fear... (:

If I were to ask you "what do you fear?" what would you say?

Would you say sky diving or flying in an airplane. What about scuba diving with sharks? (scary stuff right there!) How about talking to that one person you know is not a Christian. Or my personal favorite, going out of your comfort zone on a mission trip.

I recently sat down with a couple people and we were discussing topics in the mission field. I looked at one of my friends and ask them, "If you could go anywhere in the world to go on a mission trip, where would it be?" This person looked at me and replied, "I don't know. I never really thought about it before. I mean that is kind of scary to think about. Maybe that is why it is scary, because I am afraid of being uncomfortable. Maybe that is how we all feel. Maybe our society has gotten too scared to leave their comfort zone and share God's love with the world."

I was confused at first. I had just asked them to tell me what country they would like to visit and I ended up with a problem that I now felt needed to be solved. Let me be the first to say, I was EXTREMELY overwhelmed. At the time I didn't realize it, but now I do.

It is often said, "Don't let your fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." It is the same concept with spreading the Word. Don't let your fear that you may not be successful every time keep you from telling others of God's love for them.

Overall I can promise you this. Jesus loves you. He will not let you down. And importantly, If God gives you a mission and you do what He says, He will bless you. No matter what, He WILL bless you. That I can be certain. One more thing... God will always assist us in fighting that fear.. (:
