God Fearing

I couldn't even begin to explain how you get a contract in Pathways. What I can say is that everyone has negatively claimed something over themselves. When I was broken and beat down I always considered myself to be "Damaged Goods" I wore this title and my life reflected what I said about myself. When I went through Pathways I fought so hard to rid myself of the negativity and my past that I constantly defined myself by. I lost the damaged goods and became Meghan, THE GOD FEARING WOMAN THAT WANTS TO LIVE

Finding God again was in that training was my saving grace. At the time I didn't realize how significant my contract was in a biblical sense. I know God showed up and saved me when I was in Pathways, but he also placed something in my heart for me to claim for myself that was of Him, I am still learning what God fearing truly means but am excited to see what scripture reveals to me through this process.

I used to be crippled and scarred by my past but I can now look back tenderly and gently at all that I have been through. I look with my soul and see that each experience was necessary to bring me home to my Saviour.

Proverbs 1:29-31 (New International Version)

and did not choose to fear the LORD,

and spurned my rebuke,
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes

fear the LORD and shun evil.

Psalm 34:11-22 (New International Version)

11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
