Chapter 4 Made to Last Forever

This chapter gave me something to think about that I do not normally dwell on too often. Death is a very frightening subject to me and thinking about eternity is even more frightening, but, this chapter gave me a whole new perspective on eternity and death. One that I believe has finally broken the bonds that fear has had on me. Praise God!

Since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?

QUIT LIVING IN FEAR AND START LIVING FEARLESSLY! I have been so afraid all my life to enjoy people(they might hurt me), fear of my past, fear of never having enough, fear of being alone, fear of being with someone, fear of enjoying life. You name it, I feared it.

I want to change that today, right now, this minute. Dear God help me to do just that.
