Today's special...Do not be afraid.

The Lord who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you."
Isaiah 43:1-2 NLT

If you know the animations "Heman" and "Shelagh", you would probably remember a curse that the main character always use before gaining energy and fighting against a bad guy. The curse is something like "XXXX, give me power". After then, the main character is full of power and defeats the bad guy.

Why am I saying this? Well, the verses of Isaiah 43:1-2 reminds me about this. Isaiah 43:1-2 to me is like the curse to Heman or Shelagh, after reading it, I am full of power and courage. I am not afraid of any troubles and difficulties no more for my Lord is always with me. A successful person is not the one who has never got into troubles and difficulties, but the one who can overcome them with no fear. It sounds so unrealistic because fear is a natural feeling we have since birth. But if we have faith on HIM and trust HE is with us and protect us, we will overcome our feeling of fear and have the power to overcome any troubles and difficulties.

Any comments are welcome.
