{no more fear}
dear candice,
tonight in my youth group we talked about what we are afraid of when it comes to sharing the Gospel with people. in every fear that we responded with, they all sounded the same. we are worried that people wont think we are cool enough. my fear is that my reputaion will be ruined jsut because people think im so deferent from them. now, yeah i compleatly understand that im not normal in any way shape or form, but still, i want friends. i want to have someone in the world who dosnt think im a compleate freak! but im a fool. i am a fool for my God. after i really thought about it, if im not willing to sacrifice my reputation for the Truth, then im saying to God, "im too cool for you." if im not willing to sacrifice my looks for the Truth, then im saying to God, "i look to good for you." if im not willing to sacrifice anything for the Truth, then im saying to God, "i already have everything i ever wanted, thank you very much." wow. im a jerk.
it takes alot of faith to be able to tell God, "i dont want my reputation, looks, or anything for that matter. its all YOURS. take it all. You are all i need." its a hard thing to do... mind you that God dosnt call us to do easy things.
