FEAR — LESS
LET THE EVICTION PROCESS BEGIN
I can’t move, still my hands continually quiver
I wish I could say fear had no hold on me
Can I even pinpoint darkness point of entry
Was it when I was 6, 7, 8, or maybe even 20?
Could fear be generational, or genetics
I have my mother’s eyes, yet
Can I also see the fears she’s hidden inside?
What if I had my father’s size?
Would I also inherit a tough protective side?
One that would find a need not to hide
I want to go, however my feet are welded to the ground
How did fear find its point of entry?
Was it when I was 6, 7, 8, or maybe even 20?
Does fear have a real hold on me?
Immovable as I am, at the same time I’m screaming
NO MORE PLEASE!
Fear did indeed constrain me
Held me down and muffled all sound
Until I fell to my knees, and cried out
LORD HELP ME PLEASE!
How did darkness hide in light?
When did it become hard for me to fight?
How did fear find its point of entry?
Was it when I was 6, 7, 8, or maybe even 20?
I may not know when, but
TODAY the eviction process begins
I want to apologize to the former me
Whether I was 6, 7, 8, or maybe even 20
The me suppressed by fear
The me too afraid to fall on her knees
I’m not judging her
Maybe she didn’t know how, or THE WAY
She didn’t know there was a name ABOVE ALL NAMES
The ONE that fights darkness with FLAMES, and WILL put fear to shame
A LIGHT where shadows will never reign
The eviction process has began
Fear has to GO,
IT… WON’T… WIN
“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:8, NLT)
Fear can paralyze us, if we let it. It’s not easy, but when fear tries to overshadow the goodness of God, and all His blessings. I’m going to start fighting back. JOIN ME! The beautiful thing about this fight… we don’t have to do it alone :)
