Do not fear

365 times God said this. Do not fear.
When He says it that many times, you know that He is serious about it.

I traded a night out of drinking, for a cosy night in of (snacking and) watching Facing the Giants (yeah Jo's vcd has been with me for like... months :P)

It is a very simple show, nothing fancy. and apparently made by a church. even the spectators at the football games were made up of church-goers.

What touched me the most was something that wasn't even the main event.

The coach's wife dearly loves kids, and have been longing for kids of their own. and when they learnt that they are not able to have kids, they were devastated. He went out into the garden to read God's word, and to pray. and then he said to his wife.. Will you still love Him if He doesn't give us children?

Very much later in the show, she went for a pregnancy test (for the third time) and was told, again, by the empathetic nurse, that the results are negative.

Out in the carpark as she raised her face up to the sky, with tears in her eyes, she said, God, I still love You.

At that moment, tears filled my eyes too, as i thought, God, even if you took bernard home with you, away from me now, i still love You.

I've been putting it off, for goodness knows what reason. as if waiting for a suitable time when i'm ready to hear what God has to say.

And so, it is this. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in our lives, we all need to be reminded of this truth - Nothing is impossible when God is on our side.
