Testimony
Before I knew the Lord, I was riddled with fear, especially about saying something to my boss because I worried about what they would think of me. That fear would stop me from being honest, and instead, I would lie to avoid confrontation. I told myself it wasn’t hurting anyone, but in reality, it was hurting me and, though I didn’t know it then, it was hurting the Lord too. That fear made me someone I wasn’t meant to be.
Now that I know the Lord, that fear of what others think is gone. I’ve learned to face situations honestly and accept the consequences of my actions. When fear tries to creep in, I shut it down and move forward. I’ve realised that fear magnifies things that are actually quite small, and with Christ’s perspective, I can shine and carry on. Perfect love really does cast out all fear, and I’m grateful for the transformation God has brought in my life.
