What they never told us growing up... fear can masquerade as faith.

Описание: ⚠️ What if the heaviness you carry isn't devotion, but a prison?

So many of us were taught that God's approval is a distant summit, reached only by our trembling effort. We confuse the weight of fear for the weight of glory. We offer our exhaustion, thinking it is worship. But what if God is not a taskmaster, but a Father? What does your soul quietly long for when the prayers are done and you are alone with the echo of your own heart?

Could it be that true faith is not a clenched fist, but an open hand? Not the fear of falling short, but the breathless wonder of being fully known, and still, fully loved. What if the door to the Divine was never meant to be battered down by our striving, but opened from the other side by a mercy so profound it willingly embraced the wound meant for us?

This is the gift they perhaps never named: salvation is not a transaction, but a surrender to a Person. It is the moment you stop building your own ladder to heaven and realize He has already descended the walls to find you. It is the scandalous, tender truth that Love Himself took the form of a servant—Jesus (Isa)—to bear what we could not, so we could receive what we did not earn.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear… (1 John 4:18).
