I learned today that dread is a relative of fear.  I learned that the Devil not only tries to instill fear in us but he likes to use dread to keep us down.  Dread is that feeling that comes over you when you feel like you have lost or been overcome.  It is the moments in our life that we would rather stay home sick than face it head on.  Well, as I have been reading the bible and spending time with God, I have come to realize there is no dread, but there is Love.  You see Love is the conqueror of it all.  When we approach pitfalls in our life, we need not be afraid, now the feeling of fear may come upon us, however we do not need to surrender to it.  We can fight through that feeling when we know we have God’s Love.  You see Love carries us through our victories and defeats.  It molds us in our grief and our joy.  No matter how badly something may be, God’s Love can persevere through it.  We need to remember when we ask Why God? that he, Jesus, suffered here on Earth.  There is nothing in the bible that tells us once we are saved life will be easy.  Actually, its the contrary, he says prepare yourself for battle, but know that I am with you always.  He promises us that we can do ALL things through him (Jesus) who gives me strength.  This means All and in that scripture we must have the faith to know that includes the lies of the Devil.  When he comes and tries to scare us or even more so when he comes and tries to lay a heavy burden of dread upon us, is when we must remember through His promise of Love that Every Knee will Bow and Every Tongue will Confess that Jesus is Lord.  His love for us conquers all this World or Satan has to offer.  This is why we must keep our eyes Focused and Fixed on Jesus Christ and continue to allow him to Mold us into warriors of the Most High.

One Love, One King, All Christ!
