Many times, we do things without proper contemplation and we reap the consequences of our negligence.
All of a sudden, fear grips our hearts. We may even run away to escape. We live a life of lies. All these because we are afraid to face the results of our actions.
Something happens though when we finally find the courage to face the shadows of our past. Something happens when we finally decide to do what is right, to be set free from our lies, to pursue the light instead of staying suffocated in the dark.
Fear threatens to cripple us, but courage will help us restore what we have lost and claim all the good things the future holds for us.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14

One reply on “Facing The Past With Courage”
Oh, how I long for my country to hear and take to heart the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14, and humble themselves in prayer, knowing God has our best interest at heart always. It is the only way we can ban fear from out lives.
Blessings, Joyce!
