alive and free

Was just doing my tawg, and today's passage was about " a heart afraid of breaking". The author talked about how we sometimes harden our hearts in order not to feel any pain. but on the other hand this causes us to not be able to experiance true emotions like joy. i mean, there is nth to fear if God is on our side. Reality must be faced; hiding from it just doesn't do any good.

thinking about tt, i do realise that i have somewhat hardened myself so as to limit the full brunt of emotions. i have become rather numb to the outside. its like, close to nothing anyone says can actually affect me badly. if what the person says is somewhat relevant, i take it into account, if not its out of my mind.

yet i believe that a certain extent of numbness is sort of necessary(not the the extent of not acknowledging the truth and living in delusion). there is nothing to fear, in the sense that nothing should affect me(being numb to such happenings). therefore ignoring what does not seem relevant has its benefits; we don't have to deal with what does not concern us. E.g. a random comment made by someone.

so yes, we do not have to fear what the world tells us for God is ultimately behind us to back us up; provided we maintain a righteous life and obey His word. thus i have nothing to fear.

And in this time of exams, well, i am quite prepared and whatever comes my way in those test papers i believe God will help me thru.
