Fear does not come from God

So many live with fear and dread. They fear the unknown. They dread what may happen. Just waiting for that other shoe to drop? Surely what's just around the corner is just more bad news right? You know who you are out there. All I can say is that fear is a state of mind. Change your mind, change your reaction to the outcome. God never promised our lives would always be a bed of roses, but He did promise His love and to give us a sound mind. Don't borrow trouble. When the dreads try to overtake you and while you are holding your breath for the next bad thing to happen may I just remind you that God has not given us the spirit of fear. So if fear did not come from God, where did it come from? Fear not because He is with you. Give it over to God and ask Him to take the spirit of dread from your being. Fear not little flock because it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the keys to the kingdom. Take the keys and soar!!!
