250611 Fearless, Fear Less

 Fearless, Fear Less

Most toddler's seem to be fearless

A fact that leaves their moms a mess

For she holds all the fears they don't

Throw caution to the wind - she won't 

With youngsters, ignorance is bliss

So most dangers they tend to miss 

And thus approach things fearlessly

Caution must be taught purposely

Yet, healthy fear along the way

Can morph to fears that aren't okay

Fears that can grow and grow in size

To point where they can paralyze

It's wise if we act cautiously

But fear that brings anxiety 

The kind that's outside of our hands

Is certainly not in God's plans

For God's Word tells us to "fear not"

Not once or twice but quite a lot

One time for each day of the year

Reminder that we need to hear

Yes, our Creator,  Father knows

That fear's where our mind often goes

Though hard to put all fear to rest

With his help we'll fear less and less

If want to live in fear-free zone

You cannot get there on your own

For fear's used by the enemy

Along with weapon of worry

For worry's simply an offshoot 

It's fear that's truly at the root

And at the root of both of those

Is battle with our foe of foes

Since it says clearly in the Word

That fear is never of the Lord

Then, in the Word's the place to be

If you want to live fearlessly

Next time that fear and worry start

Take it to God and share your heart

It's there your worried mind can rest

And soon you will fear less and less
