Imagine Your Life Without Fear - Max Lucado

My mother in law gave me this wonderful book which is actually an excerpt from a book entitled Fearless by Max Lucado. I really love his style of writing and it's in a way that appeals to both my husband and I. There's nothing like using your life as a metaphor to personalize information and make it more understandable. The book deals with our fears and why we really have nothing to fear as God always has our back. One snippet I loved was when he discusses his dad erasing all of his fear of the monsters in his room as a child. He discusses being scared and I can certainly relate to that, I was extremely scared of the dark when I was little (Thanks mom and dad for leaving the hall lights on!). When he goes to his father to explain his fear of these monsters his dad asks him what he is afraid of and Lucado mentions the safety he feels when he is around his dad. In the same manner God also doesn't understand our fear because why should we be afraid when he is always there for us. The comfort Lucad felt in a dark room WITH his father is how we should feel every day knowing God is with us, no?
