Bound By Fear?

How is it that this can be so crippling, so defeating, so life-taking...

Fear - as it consumes it destroys all in it's path.

All sound judgments altered...
All perceptions skewed...
All reality jaded...

It is so blinding.

It continues to amaze me how small I see my God. Amidst the realization of this failure to see Him for who He really is, I'm humbled quickly to my knees! "Your God is too small!" is the pounding voice throughout my head. I have made Him too small in my eyes... how is that I can even do that? Again and again, I'm overwhelmed with this sudden realization of His majesty, of His grandeur, of His supremeness, of His power, and more so of His life altering compassion and love for us.

In the moments where these revelations hit me, it almost seems as though I walk four feet above the ground. Nothing seems impossible. Possibilities are limitless. Dreams feel closer then ever. Everything is doable regardless the effort or risk. Risks even seem adventurous. In these moments, it almost seems like nothing could stop me from doing anything in the world. Freedom is experienced at it's fullest.

There are no lies, no doubts, no precautions, nothing. Simply this deep sense of assurance of who He is that seems to make everything else feel tiny and insignificant compared to His hand. To grasp the magnitude of my God is my heart. To know Him as He is, brings with me a fifty foot body guard, a magnificent healer, a loyal friend, an intimate lover, a parent, a teacher, counsellor, a provider of all, ...oh the list is endless. To know Him as He is brings anything and everything I could ever dare to ask for and need.

My God has been made too small... I dare to fight to have His Majesty made known again! If it is even in the little battles of my mind... I will first begin there...conquering fear that holds us all back for one reason or another from the amazing freedom of truth revealed.
