I am . To Be

David Mckellip
I am told 'Be not Afraid' is found 365 times in the Bible.   So many are afraid today.  So many think death is the worse thing...... but I am not so sure.....


I am. To be.
Bring me life.
I am alive with anticipation. Not fear. Do not try to tell me to be afraid.


To BE
I refuse to be afraid.
Fear is something that can move us to do horrible things. 
I am. To be.
I will not carry a gun to shoot someone.
I am not afraid of my neighbor.
I am not afraid of a friend I do not know yet.
To live in fear is to miss life.

If by a small chance I die in violence, know this,
I did not die afraid.

I have a friend I trust even in the face of death.
There are things worse than death.
It is to not live in faith, in hope, in love.

Bring me life. I am not afraid.
Grasp another way to live.
Trust the great I Am and Be who you are called to Be.
Be not afraid.
