#FEARLESS365 is a yearlong study of God’s commandment to us to live without fear. For 365 days, we will focus on one scripture and volunteers from all over the world will share their personal thoughts and what God has shared with them on the specific verse. For more info… go here.
Enjoy! ~Nichole
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
1 Samuel 12:20
This is such a powerful verse.
Samuel, despite what the people thought, was telling them that even with all their sins they should not turn away from following God. He told them to serve Him with all their heart.
This gives me hope. I mess up all the time. I am by no means remotely perfect. I sin…daily. I have committed so many in my 49 years on this earth and yet I must continue to follow the Lord. I must continue to serve Him despite my thoughts on my shortcomings.
If I follow the Lord and serve Him with all my heart, despite my sins, others will see Him working in me. And that, in turn, could bring them to wanting a relationship with Him.
My children will see that despite my struggles I still place my trust in God.
That my dear friends is what it is all about.

I can’t wait to follow along all year Nichole and see how others share their thoughts on scripture. More importantly, to see how God uses this to reach others.
God bless,
