fear

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity,
but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7

Differences in the world large and small,
Dark and light,
Mysterious and questionable.
People fear the differences; they fear change.
I don’t fear the change, why do you?
My differences let me live, let me soar.
Why do you fear me?
Freedom is nowhere as long as you fear.
Allow yourself to change and become the truth.
Fear me no longer.
Embrace your differences and change.

I know You made everyone unique,
God, so there are many differences in this world.
Help me to see them as part of Your awesome creation
instead of fearing things that are different.
