God has a fence around you

Good morning my lovelies, 

How are you all feeling? I hope your morning and day is going well. I am in a fantastic mood and do you know why? Because I know God is protecting all of us, and that assurance gives me peace and confidence to face today and the rest of the week.

The topic is "God has a Fence Around You".  The definition of a fence is "a barrier to protect something that is of value", according to Merriam Webster dictionary. Now when you think of a fence you can picture a white fence or a black fence, whatever image that comes to mind when saying fence. That fence is a symbol to keep possible threats away. So when God says He's building a fence around you, He's protecting you from outside forces that are coming as a threat. Imagine this, you have a home and your neighbor is always blowing their leaves over to your lawn, so you tell him kindly "can you please try to keep your leaves on your side" he says "yeah sure, thanks for telling me". Then, next week the same neighbor does the same thing and keeps blowing his leaves onto your lawn, so you tell for a second time, "hey! can you be more mindful where you're blowing your leaves" he says "yeah sure no problem". However,  the week after that, you catch him again blowing his dried-up leaves onto your side. Finally, you don't even say anything you just go and build you a beautiful tall white fence. So you won't have to deal with this annoyance. 

Now! I know that was not the best analogy lol, but that is precisely what God does concerning us. When we need a fence to protect us from our crazy thoughts, our worrying, and stressing, He builds a fence around us to keep us safe. Because He knows how valuable we are, how valuable our thoughts and peace are. He puts his arms of protection around us acting as a fence, so when there's a problem and we come to Him. He holds us and tells us  "Relax! I got you, sit down, drink this tea, and let me protect you." You don't have to worry about when your next meal is going to come from, or how you're going to pay your bills, or if you will be successful because God is your fence. As long as you have Him as your fence; negative thoughts and problems will come but they won't be as easily accessible to you because the fence is there to protect you from harm. And the more sturdy and strongly built the fence is, the harder it is for the enemy to get to you.  

With all that being said, when you make peace, joy,  and growth a part of your daily schedule, you make it harder for negativity to come in and mess up your whole mood. For instance, if you wake up every morning and say thank you God for waking me up, and you become in the habit of doing that, it's not that easy for you to wake up the next morning and not say God thank you for waking me up. So once you get in the habit of saying "today's going to be a great day, today I'm moving forward into my purpose, today I will pay off a bill, or today I will say one positive thing about me", your training your mind and heart to be more loving and positive and to welcome positive outcomes into your life. You can do this by pushing all that negativity and all the things that hold you back on the outside of the fence, so only what' on the inside of the fence is secure.  And what is on the inside.. your peace, your energy, your sanity, keep that protected and at a balance. Don't let all these issues rob your peace and joy. No matter what is going on, there is something to be optimistic about. 

So I ask you what is in the inside of you that needs to be let go and put on the outside, and what needs to be brought in so it protected? Remember if you ask God He will protect you from ALL harm; because He loves you,  wants you to be safe, to have a sound mind, to have victory and love. But it's hard to experience those things when there is a lot of junk we won't heal from or can't handle. Are you tired of having annoying leaves being blown onto your grass? Are you tired of the same cycles robbing you of your happiness and peace? Then, ask God to help you and protect you from whatever your enemy is,  and then hold on to this assurance that He got your back. 

Today is all about having the confidence that God is watching over us!  I pray that this day going forward, we will let God be our fence and when problems arise we have faith that God is working on our behalf. Know that we have nothing to fear because we are safe under His wing! In Jesus's name Amen! Psalm 91.
