Let me introduce you to 3 of my closest friends. I really don't like them though, in fact, I hate them. They are known as Fear, Worry and Loneliness. They've been out of my life for quite some time, but these days, they seem to be hanging around quite a bit. I don't like this at all and I wished they'd just leave me alone but obviously they are a tad bit obsessed with me.

Loneliness is omnipresent. I dare say that out of this trio, he loves me the most. He takes any opportunity to haunt me and these days it's just becoming worse. I just wished he'd leave me alone for good because I hate this feeling. He makes me feel like I have no friends and no one to turn to. He makes me feel like I have no one to hang around with. Or that I'm just a lonely loser with friends that can be counted with one hand. He makes me think depressing thoughts and it makes me cry. Which friend makes their friends cry?

Fear and Worry come hand in hand. They love invading my thoughts every night. Worry will start telling me that I won't go far in life, I won't be living a life as luxurious as I am now, I won't be successful, I won't achieve my dreams and goals, I won't pass my tests, so on and so forth. Then Fear comes. Fear then starts attacking me with lies that I'm not good enough. Fear makes me just want to give everything up. They scare me to death. They make me cry to. Why is it that they love to make me cry?

This was what I had thought mid-week. But I just realised that I had missed out on this one other friend. His name is Jesus. He's there for me and he'll take me away from Fear, Worry and Loneliness and take me to a place where I'm surrounded by everyone I love, where I'm fearless and where I don't have a care in the world. I know my God is real. I just have to have faith. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains.
