Fear, you don’t own me
There ain’t no room in this story
And I ain’t got time for you
Telling me what I’m not
Like you know me well guess what?
I know who I am
I know I’m strong, brave
And I am free
Got my own identity
So fear, you will never be welcome here…
– The Breakup Song by Francesca Battistelli
This song.
I’ve said it over and over that Francesca Battistelli has this gift for writing albums that speak to every season of my life. Since I was a teenager there has always been at least one song of hers that has been a part of the soundtrack of my walk with Christ.
This particular song, The Breakup Song, is no different.
In it she is breaking up with fear. Something I have had to do quite a few times in my life but in this season of establishment where I am learning to consistently walk in my God given authority and purpose with as much authenticity as I can it is essential that I make sure that fear knows that I don’t have time for it to take root in my heart. So if that means breaking up at every new stage of my life then so be it. I have too much to do to stay paralyzed in fear.
So, that has been one of my biggest struggles this season: moving past my fear and embracing all that this season holds for me. I imagine that I’m not alone in this. What has been some of yours? I’d love to pray with and for you as you pass some tests. We got this!
