Imagine never worrying about anything! God wants us to give our burdens to Him, but too often we carry them ourselves even when we say that we are trusting in Him.<br /><br />Blessings and hugs!<br />DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603991529598754710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-8544682788572460302012-08-13T11:24:41.430-07:002012-08-13T11:24:41.430-07:00I like the analogy you used here.

He had seen a snake and is terrified of them. I don't particularly like snakes, but I'm not as afraid of them as he was...so I was like you nearly gave me a heart attack...lol.<br /><br />That picture of the snake is really interesting..she got a good shot!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641470577828979088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-87923491672232729802012-08-13T01:29:35.674-07:002012-08-13T01:29:35.674-07:00I am terrified of snakes too.

Not to instill fear but as a precaution to avoid any potential problem.<br /><br />Fear...a tactic from our enemy to distort our mind and disable us from succeeding...I like the way you reminded us that faith is the opposite. While we can't see God, the evidence is truly around us. What He created is so awesome and everything does point back to Him. Scientists can deny all they want about God but it doesn't change the fact that their knowledge is limited. I love that song. Makes me enjoy the bright sun despite being a triple digit temp today...God bless and strengthen you.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-7011806417045379102012-08-11T08:54:09.858-07:002012-08-11T08:54:09.858-07:00Yes, I admit I have missed out on some things beca...Yes, I admit I have missed out on some things because of fear!
