I have received so many great emails after posting on my blog yesterday. I continue to be amazed. Pieces of knowledge from so many people are wonderful and they all seem to tap on just what I need to hear.
I felt compelled earlier to reflect on all that I have been through in the last few months - concentraing on various emails and notes received. I went back and read some emails I received at the beginning of this journey.
One of the first emails I received quoted Dodie Osteen in her book, Healed of Cancer: "Did you know that Jesus took not only your sins on the cross but also your sicknesses. He bore in His body anything that causes you heartache, poverty, oppression, depression, pain, suffering, etc. Jesus took it all. Matthew 8:17 refers to Isaiah's prophecy about Jesus, saying, 'He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.' If Jesus took your sickness then there is no need to bear it."
There is no need for my fear.
Another friend sent me an email today and used some quotations from the book You Were Born for This:
“…fear is a fruit, not the root. The root is unbelief in our hearts..."
"We don’t tear down unbelief in our hearts by trying to muster up our courage or fan the flames of emotion. We tear it down by rejecting the lies, claiming the truth, and acting on it..."
I have come so far in such a short time. I WILL NOT FEAR and I DO BELIEVE God has not finished his work in me yet!
