Swing open your chest and let it in, just let the love begin

Anxious feelings are of an unusual make-up.

They're normal. They are usually a sign that you really care and you genuinely want things to work out for the best. Like worrying about a family member, a new job, or even a cute little Cocker Spaniel that likes to shove his ball under the couch.

Jesus says not to have anxious feelings over anything. But sometimes they feel right. They feel like you are caring about something. Like if you weren't anxious then you obviously don't care.

I'm trying to learn that guilt is just as much a bad feeling as anxiousness.

A fun little hippie with dreds reminded me the other day that no matter what happens, things will always work out for the best. There are only two tubes in life that occurances can come down, things that are blessings or things that Jesus will use to bless you.

Besides:

Just think of all those people you could be loving in the time you took to be anxious.

Oh, and just FYI:

Now go love somebody!

  1. Yep...we don't like to think about it, but worrying about things is very clearly stated as sin. And it's saying that we know better than the One who holds all things in His Hands.

    Thanks for the reminder!! :)
