Fear -or- Faith
"Faith is not a storm cellar to which men and women can
flee for refuge from the storms of life. It is, instead, an inner
force that gives them the strength to face those storms and
their consequences with serenity of spirit." - - Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
Some of my fears are natural although if my faith was a
little stronger I might not be afraid of snakes.
Healthy
fears do alert us in dangerous situations and it's normally
considered wise for us to listen to them.
Worry and fear go hand in hand and when I allow myself
to fret and worry it can turn into fear and panic. In my
heart I know that if my faith was strong enough I would
never worry. Just knowing God is always present and He
can see around corners, should allow me to be more certain
that all will turn out OK. I know today, that the more my
faith grows, the brighter my days become. The feeling of
a closer relationship with HIM gives me comfort and hope
even on the darkest days.
Peace on the journey, SG
