Fear

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself! I have been thinking about fear lately after seeing one of my kids stricken with fear. For me it was not a big deal but to her it was the difference between life and death. She didn't get her homework done, then she was scared that she was going to miss the bus, and then she froze. At that moment I realized she couldn't motivate herself to do anything because she was afraid of the future. Frozen with fear. How many times do you or I find ourselves holding back or frozen because of fear. Maybe it is the unknown that you are afraid of or maybe you know but you are still afraid. God says in Genesis 26:24 "Do not be afraid for I am with you." He was talking to Abraham and giving him a great promise of what was to become of his life and then He says, "Do not be afraid." Wow. Life sometimes seems very uncertain but He will be with us! Check out this video of a cat that has no fear. And remember if a cat can jump in head first we should too! Peace
