The witness affirms God's majesty and all present Truth.
Day Eighteen:Fear

We all can be tempted by fear. But what is fear really?
A false witness, a suggestion. Truth uncovers it and makes it disappear...
Yeah!

Tues Jan 10
"Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. " Ps 61:1,2
Being overwhelmed is a common feeling of putting ourselves down and resist good.
"But how can I resist good?- I ask - I want good, I am good..."
Then I try to remember that it is just a suggestion of being separate.
God is never overwhelmed.
So I may go to God, and ask to take it from me.
I am grateful it is just a suggestion...

We feel too little...
God says we are His beloveds though, and He is so pleased!
Day Seven: Child-likeness
Fri Jan 6
"Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea."

Kids say:" but it's all about having fun!
I am grateful for child-likeness.
