Fear is simply life without Faith
When you come to the realization that God is with you, within you, and that you are never alone...then contemplate the lengths that he chose to show you His perfect love, you will start to understand. Do you think He would have done all that He did to let you live aimlessly on this earth? No dear child of God. No.
Focus on Him. Ponder His Word. Spend "time" with Him.
Don't think of it as sitting alone in silence. You are not alone, and the silence is needed to hear Him. Whether God places thoughts in your mind or you are open to hearing His audible voice. He will share Himself with you.
Are you ready? Why not?
I lived without God and in fear for so many years of my life. Thinking that I would need to give up something (everything) to be a good Christian. Not only did things start slipping away by themselves,when I started to follow Christ, but as I grew closer, I could see that my life was becoming richer, fuller in Him.
It is always your choice. To lean in, or to not. It's not about religion. It's not about what church you attend. Church is a building to bring believers together... It serves a purpose. But, first and most important to your choice is that you will now carry Christ with you in your heart. You "are" the church.
To choose Christ, or to not. There is no pressure on you. Don't choose out of guilt or fear or feel yourself being manipulated to be a follower of Christ. He doesn't want you to come to Him that way. He is pure love.. He is pure joy.. He is your Father.. He is longing for you to be free. Choose Him and you will not be sorry. Man may hurt and deceive you, but God never will.
Choose Him..what have you got to lose? What have you to gain?
You can always choose to leave, but if you truly seek the heart of Him Who loves you, you won't want to leave. Your heart will long to know Him more.
Praying that whoever reads this comes to the beautiful and profound knowledge of Who Christ truly is.
The freedom that will overcome all else.
The love that knows no bounds.

Ephesians 3:17-18(NIV)
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
