What does this mean?
What does the world say?
What does my Redeemer say?
"Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
For your Maker is your husband the Lord Almighty is his name the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the
earth. " Isaiah 54:4-5
Now that I am all in with 120% focused Trust in my Redeemer I have No Fear of my past and No Fear of my Future.
I know Trust is earned over time however when I realize my Redeemer is the Potter and I am the clay I know each day I am being molded and shaped into His image.
I also know that my Redeemer went many steps further on the Via Delarosa to earn my Trust as He Endured the Cross.
He was sold for a measly 30 pieces of silver by a "trusted friend!" However, my Redeemer knew this would happen and even allowed it to happen so I would be saved from the Hell and Torture I was living in from the Slave Driver of my Character nature.
As my Redeemer was all in 120% with No Fear so must I be 120% committed if I am to have No Fear!
Even though He was wrongly accused He took the High Road and said, "Father forgive them! They don't know what they are doing!" I must follow His example and do the same when I am wrongly accused.
Now I realize the measly 30 pieces of silver was actually used to purchase me when it was thrown into the Potters Field with all the rejected broken pieces of pottery. This is the field where broken broken pottery is buried because it has no value to the world.
Suddenly I realize that I was that valueless broken piece of pottery thrown away and buried never to be seen or heard from again. My Redeemer actually purchased me out of this field the same way parents would go to a Foreign Country like Korea and adopt a baby in an orphanage. This baby now has Value and a new future hope within him in a Free Land!
Now I understand that my life was also broken to pieces with no value. Now I realize my Redeemer is going to take something worthless like me and turn me into a valuable piece of art. To do this He has to start over by melting me down and remolding me into a new image.
Now I get it! Now I live it! I was lost but now I am found because it is my Redeemer's perfect love that casts out All Fear!
This Attitude of No Fear is another key to my Freedom!
Here is a great song please listen.
