Nothing Is Not Negative

My students today did the classic "Going on a Bear Hunt."

It was great. They were following along with a CD and after they made it safely home after being chased by the bear, the CD asked, "Were you afraid?"

One little guy proudly bursted out, "No! I'm not afraid of anything!"

While that probably wasn't reality in his life, wouldn't it be amazing if we all had that attitude?

I'm not afraid of anything.

I think the point of this post bounces of yesterday's idea. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can separate us from God's love.

And therefore, we have nothing to be afraid of.

When you find yourself asking, "What's the worst that could happen?", be not afraid.

The same Jesus who calmed the storm and asked, "What are you so afraid of?" asks the same of you. And may your response be bold in saying "Nothing!"

There is nothing to tear us away from God; and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Most people think of "nothing" as a negative term.
"We lost 24 to nothing."
"I got nothing in the mail today."
"I got nothing done today."

But, God says, "Nothing is not negative."

Nothing is positive. Nothing separates us from His love, and we have nothing to be afraid of.

Be like that boy and say, "I'm not afraid of anything, because there isn't anything that can separate me from the love of God."
