Do Not Fear
In Isaiah 43:1, God speaks to His people with a message of hope and encouragement:
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
These words are not just a reassurance—they are a reminder of who we are, and whose we are.
God is both our Creator and Redeemer. He is the one who formed us, knitting us together in our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13), and He is the one who redeemed us, bringing us back into relationship with Himself through Jesus.
We can rest in peace and confidence knowing are not forgotten or abandoned, but intimately known and cared for by the God of the universe.
When God says, “Do not fear,” He is not ignoring the challenges you face. He is acknowledging the reality of fear and offering comfort in His presence. Fear often arises from feeling alone or uncertain, but God’s promise is clear: He has called us by name, and we belong to Him. We are His, no matter what we face.
Whether you are walking through a season of uncertainty, facing personal challenges, or carrying burdens that weigh heavy on your heart, this verse invites you to rest in the truth that you are redeemed, known, and loved.
God’s call on your life is unshakeable. Today, stand in that assurance and walk forward with courage, knowing you are never alone and always held in His loving care.

-
Children rely on others to meet their needs. Little children instinctively know that they are vulnerable and helpless. They aren’t afraid to ask for help when they need it because they know that help from the right person is their source of strength.
-
Children don’t care about acquiring power. They don’t view others as threats to their authority because they don’t have any authority to threaten. Everything a child has is given to them.
-
Children know who they belong to. Children know who to run to when ...
