My Fear

A buoyant song floats in the air.  It's so loud.  I can't do anything but keep my eyes closed tightly.  The superficial is singing with the tune, but the deep within is fearful ... of tomorrow's surprise that nobody knows!

Will I cry?  Will I smile?  Will I win or lose?  Do I have to risk a thousand bucks to win this game?  Am I the hope of everything - of friends and family?


I fear that one day, my dreams will shatter.  I do not think I would make it.  I am terribly afraid.


Then, a voice whispered, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)  Then continued with this, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)


And I found myself looking at the sky, gazing up at God's wonders.  I saw Him smile and disappeared beyond my sight.


That night, I slept hoping to wake up on a brand new day.  Tomorrow, it will be the start of another journey with God beside me.
