Last night at church, while we were having our group devotion, our musical director played a song on his piano. The song was “Still” by Hillsong. It goes like this: Hide me now under Your wings, cover me… when the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm, Father You are King over the flood, I will be still for You my God. While those lyrics continues to enter my ears, I bowed down—tears slowly contrive.
Embodied with the song, I closed my eyes and think of what I am now—what I became—after I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart. But there was still something in my heart that I want to surrender to the Lord that I haven’t surrendered yet. The thing they called “fear”.
There’s still fear in my heart. I wanted to share the word of God to my family so with my friends, but I fear. I am afraid of what people will say afterwards. I am afraid of what they will feel. Would they like it? What if they don’t? What if they think I’m a psycho or stupid or crazy or whatsoever? I hate receiving bad comments. But then I realized, I am what I am today, I am where I am right now because of God. I wouldn’t be here if he didn’t love. And I know that he wants to use me. So do I, I want to be used by Him.
Then I prayed, and prayed… and prayed.
“Lord, erase the fear in my heart. Erase it, Father. I want to be new. I want to serve You. I want to be used by You. Enter my heart Lord. Cleanse it. I surrender!”
It is written in the Bible:
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one.The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.” (Psalm 27:1)
As Christians, we must know that once the Lord is with us, we are strong and we shall never be afraid of anything except for He Himself—the God above all. May this be a lesson, that the Lord put us in this world for a reason and that is not to fear.
Therefore, I claim, I was once fearful… BUT NOW I FEAR NONE FOR I AM WITH THE LORD!
