Expressions of fear do nothing to solidify your defense, they erode, dissolve energy and prepare the heart and foundation for collapse.
Face it, the worst thing that may happen is your expiration. Oh, now we got the thread to pull apart your false sense of hope built on loam.
Did you die with Christ already? Born Again, what does that mean and why do they roll their eyes at you as you think they understood?
Everlasting life, that a fairy tale to them. Is it to you as well? If you are running around expressing, worries, doubt and pain what of it?
A man or woman living their new life now does not hang their head in morbidity and remorse at the possibility of losing this temporary existence.
In fact when you see this example you must confront it with the Holy Reason associated with being freed from sin and death. How can it be?
If you are still afraid of dying then aren’t you acknowledging the lack of salvation found dying on the Cross with Christ Jesus at Calvary?
I know it is impossible the good stuff and power starts with that admission. This is not a thing that you do well by mustering or maintaining your own energy.
This is a thing of God, A Saving Grace, A hopeful promise of all things being gathered at some day unto their Creator as HE promised.
Perhaps that is key, to look to the author and finisher of our faith instead of the tasks, talents, treasures and trials of the world?
As the hands of the potter shape the clay spinning on the wheel or punched against the table our job is best performed in the lack of resistance.
The shaping comes as we forget our fear and walk into the light of life that Christ has twice given, once to bring us the water birth, the second baptism by fire.
Those born of fire do not fear the flames. It is a quenching fire a taming hold upon the carbon based atoms of our making turning them to something new.
