Greg shares heartfelt words today about forgiveness.  We are all guilty of judging others.   Love means to forgive.  Invite God into your life to be part of the forgiveness.  And remember, we cannot give what we don’t have.  So, we need to remember to love and forgive ourselves, too.

Today’s scriptures: Luke 7:44-47, Psalms 46:10

Who are you relying on to give you advice for overcoming fears and obstacles? 

Today’s scriptures: Matthew 6:34, Philippians 4:13, Psalms 34:4

It’s not always easy to remove fear from our lives.  So, ask God.  That’s why he’s there.  He reminds us often. 

Today’s scriptures: 2 Timothy 1:7, Hebrews 13:6, Psalms 28:7, James 4:2

Using many scriptures, Greg encourages us to examine what we fear and where it is coming from along with words of HOPE.

Remember the acronym:  F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real

Try this acronym:  H.O.P.E. = HOLD on ~ OPEN up ~ PUT yourself in a new environment ~ EXPECT to see changes.

Today’s scriptures: Psalms 27:1, Lamentations 3:22, 1 John 4:18, Psalm 23:4

Greg asks you what causes you fear and shares some scriptures to help us Face those Fears.
