Dont be Afraid. Just Have Faith.

"And Jesus said Dont be afraid just have Faith" - Mark 5:36

The word afraid in that scripture can be substituted for many words. Do not worry, Do not be anxious, Do not be discouraged. 

So if you get a chance to read Mark chapter 5 there is a story about a a man named Jairus, whose daughter was very sick and on the verge of death and he wanted to seek the healing power of Jesus but people in the crowd were telling him his daughter was already dead and that it is not worth it to bother Jesus. But Jesus did not listen to them he told Jairus not to be afraid just have faith. 

How many times in your life have you told someone about a dream or a goal you are trying to achieve and they say it can not be done, that it does not make sense, it will not work or worse they say "well I hope it works out" but you hear the doubt in their voice?

Better yet how many times have you doubted yourself? You believed the lie that you were not good enough, you could never achieve that goal or that you weren't going to make it.? First of all who told you that lie? Don't you know once we believe those lies they become rooted in our hearts and then we speak those same lies over someone elses life? (Matthew 12:34)
Second why would you tell yourself that lie? We have the tendency to be extremely hard and unloving towards ourselves. This maybe cliche but it all starts with self love. Why do you think it says Love your neighbor as you love yoursel. (Matthew 22:39 Galations 5:14) If you can not love yourself properly then you probably do not know how to treat people.
What if I told you that you could achieve anything you tried? Dont be afriad just have Faith. Apply for that job your "friend" said you were not going to get. Dont be afriad just have faith. Nervous about a test? Dont be anxious, Just have Faith. Go ahead and DO something that you told yourself you couldnt do. Stop Doubting and Just do it. Step out on Faith. Block out the nay-sayers and people who speak doubt on your life. You have too much potential to believe the crowd. One day they are with you the next day their against you. They will remind you of your failures but root for you when you make it. As Sweety Brown said "aint nobody got the time for that"

Dont put your trust in mere humans. Humans are as frail as breath. (Isaiah 2:22)

There is a man out there who isnt listening to the crowd. He is not swayed by opinions or emotions, He is not like us. Jesus believes in you and loves you so much that he died for you. 

And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.- Romans 8:28
