Do not be afraid

Morning: Psalms 66, 67; Ezekiel 3:16-27; Ephesians 2:1-10

Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Matthew 10:24-42

Jesus often says, “do not be afraid”. He is realistic; we fall prey to fear. He wants us to fear nothing ... except losing ourselves by sacrificing our integrity for something that is not worthy of us. Will we live our lives in fear of falling short of other people’s expectations? Or will we live courageously into what we came here for? Sometimes, the people we love can pressure us to be untrue to ourselves. It is hard to say “no” to them. Courage, friends. Do not be afraid to be the person you are called to be.
