For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”—Romans 8:15
Last night my heart began to fear. For a moment I floundered…but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, (me) heard me and I was helped.
I opened my book of Bible promises to shore up my thinking with the truth of God. The Spirit brought understanding to my heart as I read Roman’s 8:15. Its meaning hit me in a way that it never had before. God’s truth broke through the bars that fear had put up and released my heart to once again trust my Father in Heaven.
I have been released from the bondage that fear brings because I am now in Christ…never alone. I am His precious child, and instead of fearing, I can cry out to my Father who does all things well. He is my shield. He will cover me with His feathers and in the covert of His wings I can find my refuge. Such sweet and utter relief to know that I was not left alone (and would never be again)in my swirling and sickening thoughts. My God..no…my Abba…my Daddy…was with me and would never leave me.
