What is more crippling like fear? Fear can make you stay in one place for so long because you do not want to move, lest something wrong happen.  Most times fear is propelled by lies and when light is shed on the matter, you notice the foundation is totally far from happening.  You may have grown up in a home that is not stable, where you hardly felt any happiness or received any love, later in life, you may have so much fear of having broken relationships, such that the way you interact with people is interfered with. You may have worked on yourself so much, but still, feelings and thoughts of being unworthy flood your mind, because you do not want to repeat a cycle.

My child, your life is independent of someone else’s, and just because something happened to them, it doesn’t mean it will happen to you. When you have experienced all these things, you must have picked things you wouldn’t want to do, since you know the impact it has had on you. The enemy knows that there are so many things you have done, and he uses any way he can to make sure he stops you. 

Look at yourself in light of me, not your parent, sibling past, or anything else. You are my child, and in me, you are a new creation. Whenever I speak my word, you think I’m speaking to everyone else but you, you may even be afraid to approach me, because you have thought you don’t deserve it. My child, my promises are for you, every word I have written down is for you. Do not hide anymore, do not believe the lies anymore, come to me and let me show you the truth. You have been held captive in your mind by your thoughts, you have lived a very sheltered life without exploring who you truly are. Allow me in your life and let me set you free from these shackles. Though you may be afraid to fall, my angels will be there to hold you, so that you do not hurt yourself.
