Growing Faith and Shrinking Fear

Beginnings are always exciting, scary and yet anticipated.  What would you do if you weren't afraid?  That was a question I was asked once by a man and his words return to me often.  I am still asking myself that question.  What would you do if you weren't afraid?  The questions haunts me,  yet I have not been able to fully answer it.  I ask myself, “Am I afraid?”  The word tells us to, “fear not.”  Yet many in the Bible fell to their knees in fear.  In the last days we are told men’s hearts will fail them due to fear.  Yes, I know I have heard it too.  Fear is just False Evidence Appearing Real.  To humans however perception is reality.  Hence, the only way for me to live a fearless life is to have greater faith than I have fear.  Think about it.  If we have greater faith in God’s ability to protect us than in the world Satan’s ability to harm us,  then we will have no fear.  So day one, I will fear not- by feeding my faith.  As my faith grows my fears shrink.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  KJV
