"Do not fear, for I am with you, do
not be dismayed, for I am your God". Isaiah 41: 10
Many times we are overcome with fear for
various reasons. I think the worst of all fears is the fear of
loneliness and abandonment. People take their lives when they feel
like no one loves them, understands them or cares for them. I
know political leaders, actors, people of all sorts and even priests
who have taken their lives because of this. Whether it is real or
hypothetical, for the one who goes through such fears it is painful
and scary.
The world we live in has lots of people who
go through such fears as mentioned above. They are living in our
neighborhoods, our villages and our small towns. They are people we
know and talk to everyday. But this side of their personality is
hidden and their fear do not allow them to show it to others for
fear of rejection. It is a vicious cycle. If you believe God is with
you, then today you can give them a ray of hope and a light in the
darkness by being with them or sharing a word to them.
May be these people who live in fear are not
our neighbors but ourselves!
And if you are, close your eyes and say this
to your heart, "God said to me, I am with you. Do not be afraid". A
miracle is waiting to happen and a peace is about to settle in. It
is a promise that will not be withdrawn and is kept day after day.
Write me back with your
miracle or post your comments here for the benefit of others.
