I came across this quote today and thought I would share it. I love the last line especially.

To know that love is of God and to enter into the secret place leaning upon the arm of the Beloved-this and only this can cast out fear. Let a man become convinced that nothing can harm him and instantly for him all fear goes out of the universe. The nervous reflex, the natural revulsion to physical pain may be felt sometimes, but the deep torment of fear is gone forever. God is love and God is sovereign. His love disposes him to desire our everlasting welfare and His sovereignty enables him to secure it.

If only my heart could convince my mind of this truth...

Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you for sharing this quote. My heart has been particularly burdened today with unimportant things and this quote helped me to "unfog" a little bit.
