Fear And Faith

"Doubt alone won’t keep you where you are, for honest doubt is a good thing. But fear? Fear stops all forward motion. Fear disables and immobilizes. Fear strangles the courage right out of you. Fear becomes the controlling, overpowering, paralyzing emotion. It can become so crippling, that we are blinded to the possibilities of the future. Faith is the only antidote - actionable faith. Faith is not bare belief, like reciting the creed. It’s not mere intellectual understanding, the ticking off some doctrinal check list. Faith is an action-oriented willingness to trust in, and to rely upon God, that Power greater and beyond yourself." - RM
