Fear Not!

There would be no one to frighten you
if you refused to be afraid.

- Mohandas K. Gandhi

Fear Not

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them...they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight. - O.S. Marden

Beware of the Evil Twins

Nothing stirs as easily as Fear,
. . .and Cruelty, his darker twin,
awakens soon after!

What a powerful statement by an unknown author. It is something that we normally don't like to think on; however, there is much truth in these words. Fear is a horrible thing. When it begins to stir and our spirit is off guard, it will cause us to act in an unbecoming, Cruel manner. And all of a sudden we find ourselves captives to the evil twins of destruction, Fear and Cruelty.

Please dear Lord, help me to soar with the eagles and not find myself nesting with the vultures.

We Fear What?

I more fear what is within me than what comes from without.

Martin Luther
