Tweets - October 10th - Fear and Worry

My faith is in God's mercy. My trust is in God's mercy, not just in God's ability. I don't know God's plans or Christ's plans, and that's always been OK, because I am only required to trust in God's mercy.

Hell is only going to get hotter; it must. It is about to get a lot hotter here. If the tiny flame from afar torments me day and night, how much more will the up-close burning building terrify me?

I am always being spared and always being healed, and I have not yet been denied God's mercy. 

None of this is to say that the flames haven't caused me alarm. Even now, sometimes a bubble of "what could be" comes up to the surface. They've even caused me one bad dream. But I know I never need to fear the future - all these things belong to God.

To be clear, I am not saying that I won't endure awful and painful things, but I am saying that these things belong to God and to God's purpose, so they won't be able to destroy me (perpetually) and I have never needed to invest worry in them.

With fear and worry comes judgment and condemnation. "I'll draft you into war and require you to carry a gun; and if you don't, I'll have you locked up and your liberties denied," said Fear and Worry.

As for the fires I've caused... Justice continues to be required, and even then, I've relied on God's mercy to help me see through to the end what I began, and I have not yet been denied.

For me, I was never going to do anything else - I was only ever going to be myself in this regard.

After reading my last thread, I noticed it reads differently depending if one thinks I'm speaking to myself or if one thinks I'm speaking to others. I am speaking to others.
