It's April Fool's Day. On this special occasion, I usually enjoy pulling a few harmless pranks on friends, and slightly bigger ones on loved ones and family. =) But nothing comes to mind this time around. I'm afraid of hurting feelings by being insensitive, infuriating those that I mislead, and simply there's nothing fun to pull this year. Jokes these days simply aren't very tasteful. Perhaps it's the mood surrounding our society. *shrug*
Well then, I think I'll share. A lot has been happening, and my mind literally haven't had much time to rest. Insomnia has slowly crept back into my life. After being back in T.O. for the weekend, I see fear and anxiety all around. I've heard of churches cancelling service, and drops in attendance in those that are still open. I think the only thing we should fear is fear itself. Yes, that sounds cliche, but it's true. Fear hinders us from doing what we're supposed to do, serving God, and worshipping Him. It seems as if Satan has won this little battle of instilling fear in our hearts. But do not be discouraged, Christ has overcome this world. We must continue to lay our trust and focus on Him alone. What do we have to be afraid of when we have God on our side?
"Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is our through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away."
Romans 8:35-38 (NLT)
