But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
I praise God for the ability to come to Him when I am tempted to fear. He is always right there to listen, encourage, and fill me back up with faith. Sometimes He gives me ideas to write down so that not only will I be encouraged, but I can then use that writing to encourage others. The following poem is an example of how He has lifted me up during those dark times. Enjoy, and be encouraged!
Fear Not, Only Believe
He shed his blood for me unworthy
such pain and not a scream.
He gave me life with him eternal
to praise and laugh and sing.
Yes while on Earth I should praise my God
and thank him for all things,
not offering up my doubts and fears
and words that just complain.
Yet when the promise seems to tarry
and praise my thoughts repress,
a battle rages in my heart -
my faith put to the test.
Is it real? Is it true?
Dare I to believe
in signs and wonders, miracles
promised to His seed?
Oh why my soul should you ask
this question so bizzare?
How could you doubt the One who formed
the heavens and the stars?
He is the Truth, He is the Way,
He is my breath of Life!
His love, His joy, His peace abounds
toward me, His blood-washed bride!
So I will not stagger at God's promises
through doubt or unbelief.
If I'm strong in faith, giving glory to God,
He says I WILL receive!
