Fear vs. Faith

Recently, I have noticed how our world is getting worse in many ways and fear has come up within me. I see so many terrible things happening within my peer groups and friends and around the world and it has really bothered me. So many don't really know the love of God and don't know Him in a personal way, as Lord and Savior and as Master and Father of their lives. Several of my, once close friends have fallen away from God and the reason I know this is because of the fruit I see in their lives. The "fruit" is not Godly fruit in no way. They aren't growing, in fact several of them are running away from the Bible and the truth and God's word. It really breaks my heart and I am a very sensitive and emotional person. I have a super compassionate heart, which makes me cry or makes me sad when I see people I know not following after God with all of their hearts, soul, mind and strength. It is very hard to see and watch. With all of this happening it has brought some fear into my heart about them, life and the future of our world. Some thoughts that come to me are, "If my "Christian" friends or once Christian friends are falling away from God, who will stand? What will our world look like in many, many years to come? Why are so many falling away? etc...?" I am just filled with thoughts, concerns, prayers and uncertainty. I don't want to be fearful or weak, I don't desire to be "drowning" in this. I want faith, not lack of faith. I want and I know God's heart and desire is that He wants those He made to worship and love Him with all that they are. I want to stand firm in my faith until death, always growing and loving God. I want to follow in His path and in His way. I can't walk my fear, but by faith!

Please remember that "without faith it is impossible to please God." If you are living or struggling in fear, I encourage you as I am beginning to do as this fear has creeped up, to replace fear with prayer and faith! We can and will walk by faith and not by sight. We will have faith and not fear, we will believe and not doubt. I will live and pray God's promises and pray for those I know and for the world and all people to know God. Faith is what I want, not fear!

~A True Prince~

To the guys out there-I am most definately NOT a guy and don't know a lot about you
as I would like, but I would like to give a Christian girl's perspective on what I think
and what I have learned about how YOU can be the Prince that we all know you are
on the inside to come out into the light and live it every day! To start off, I just want you
to know that most women and girl's love it when a guy treats her like royalty. I also
believe that it is the duty of a man (especially a man of God) to treat a girl like she
is his sister and God's daughter! Girl's look up and favor men of character and gentleness!
If women and men both want respect and honor from the opposite sex, then it has to
start somewhere, why not you? After all, you are the man, the leader! Girl's want to
follow (most of the time I think) the man and not vice-versa. Girl's need a man that
will speak the truth and not be ashamed of them! God is calling the men (I believe)
to a higher place. Girl's are not there for just objects of your satisfaction, they are
there to radiate TRUE beauty (which should and I wish more girl's helped you guys
out by being modest and honest!) from the inside-out, but they want to follow
someone who is stronger and loves her as God's child and as a Princess!

I have learned and read many books and heard many teachings about this kind of topic
and I believe women want men who will protect and cherish the woman she is on the
inside! We are your sisters! You are our brothers! Men need to not be afraid to be
men, because every girl is so desperately searching for a man who will be a MAN!
Often times girl's lack that fatherly figure in their life and are searching for that love in
other men. It would be nice if men would rise up and help the girl's see God as their
Father instead of using them to satisfy your wants! Be men of purity and dignity! Be
men of courage and strength! Be men of honor and love! Be men of Truth and men
of God! Be men who is a leader, not a wimp! Do not lower your standards just to
be popular. Do not set back and watch the world crumble and fall into the sea!

God is calling Men to be Men! If and when you might ever have a family or if you do,
be a good father to your children and a Prince to your wife! Love them and be there
for them, nurture them and lead them! Be a Prince! You are God's sons! You are
God's once you accept Him to be Lord and Master of Your life and surrender all
that you are to Him! Be a Prince of Christ! You represent Jesus WHEREVER you
go! I know there are Prince's out there! I just know it! Live out your love and Faith
for Jesus! He wants all of you, not just bits and pieces, the whole bit! Fall in Love
with Jesus!

Thanks for reading, I probably could go on a rampage on this topic, but I won't! lol!
I hope you were encouraged and uplifted! I hope this helped you in some way or
another! Thanks for reading part of a girl's perspective on "A True Prince!"
