When something is important to me I nag, I will repeat this important message until my face is blue if thats what it takes.
The world around me says that I shouldn't nag and that nagging is anoying. They say that naging destroys relationships and degrades you. How many movies do you hear them talking about nag nag nag from the wife or the husband in some cases or whatever. They never seem to wonder if there might be a reason behind the irritating noise.. I hate to nag and I deeply believe that noone likes it. But as I mentioned earlier if it's important enough I will keep repeating myself till the info is understood and dealt with. Wether I'm right or wrong the situation needs a discussion.
In the Bible there is a couple things God mentions more then once..
But the one thing that is mentioned more then any other is three words. Three words that are so very important it is mentioned 365 times, once for every day in a year. And you know that when God says something so many times He means it!

DO NOT FEAR!
Don't believe me.. take a look see..
First John 4:18 tells us, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
God knows that we are not perfect, not one of us. So he added 364 more times in the bible that we should not fear!
God does not punish! I don't care what you've heard in sunday school, because it's just not right.
We do things and our actions have consequenses yes. But the only punishment mentioned in the Bible is that the "wages" (punishment) of sin is death (hell).. But do not fear!! The verse continues saying ... But the gift of God is eternal life!
When Jesus said it is finished on the cross He meant it. The new testiment proclaims our savior that made the world new! God does not curse, He does not punish .. But he does give us many chances to test our faith in Him. When we walk through difficulties in life He waits patiantly for us to grab on to Him so He can show us His awesomeness!
Everybody needs to feel acknowledgement from time to time and we are created in His image. He needs to know that we are still with Him, and also so we can get confirmation on our faith in Him. But He will never leave us nor forsake us! He will never give us more then we can handle!
He gives us so many reasons not to fear and yet He still gives us 365 verses saying that He's got everything covered!
Now that is an awesome God!
Thank You Jesus!
For knowing us so well and preparing for our needs!
Thank You for giving us a gift of fearlessness, knowing that in You there is no fear!
Knowing that in you we are taken care of and that you have already provided for our every need. That You love showing us that You love us!
You are an awesome Father and a great God.
No Fear!!!
~
Amen
