Living Out-loud

Is there any reason you shouldn't be living out-loud for Jesus today?


For most of us, the one thing that keeps us most effectively from living out-loud for Jesus, is fear.


Fear is an interesting thing...  it binds us up, holds us back, contains and restrains us and convinces us that we... can't.  And yet, if you think about it, fear isn't... really... even... real, it's just something going on in our brain.


Think of it, what would we do if we weren't afraid?  What might we become if not for fear?  If not for fear, what more might we dare, or do, or try, or attempt?


Today I want to dare you to choose to be unafraid.  Experiment with it in your walk with and in your witness for Jesus.  Believe today that you have been miraculously empowered by God with His power, His love, His mercy and His Grace, and that you are on this earth for a reason and... for a very limited time, and then do something about it, out-loud and in faith.


Chose today, this day, to not be afraid, and to live like you believe it to be true that Jesus is with you in every step that you take, in every encounter you have and in every word that you speak.  It is true, you know?  It's true!  This is our unique reality as followers of Jesus.


Now... all you have to do is to live it, out-loud.


So, What have you got to lose?


Today is a great day to fearlessly keep on keepin' on in Jesus!


Go for it!

I believe that you are right . Fear permeates our culture. It guides our nation. It makes decisions. People are afraid to live and trust in anything let alone God. You are right. Fear can be vanquished. NO ONE. NO LAW. Is stopping us from being open about our faith. We can lose our fears and take back our lives. God provides free will. He doesn't force us to exercise it.
