Fear is a topic I don’t write about often because I consider myself a pretty fearless person. From birth, I’ve been rather strong-willed and bold. Yet I realized fear is a sneaky topic that can ensnare even the boldest person.
I remember standing in line in my 3rd-grade class during our Halloween party. I was panic-stricken because the library was turned into a haunted house that we had to enter to get into the party. As I got closer and closer to entering the door, my heart pounded so intensely, I could
not move. As my teacher approached me, I burst into tears because I didn’t want to go in.
She was shocked and so was my class because I was known for being the boldest and loudest, most outspoken person in the class. (I know that’s hard to imagine, right?)
Ms. Moore grabbed my hand and attempted to encourage me but I had no interest in entering that haunted house. I stood on the side of the door and waited for my class to go in.
Looking back, I realized I had a fear of monsters buried deep inside that I never thought about until that moment. Isn’t that interesting? What fears are hiding deep within that you don’t think about?
Pray and ask God to reveal any hidden fears that the enemy might try to use against you.
You are fearless sister!
Your sister and servant,
