FAITH: THE ANSWER TO FEAR 10-7-18

Dear Friends,

There is fear in many of us.

There is the fear of losing everything.

The fear of others compounds our complex minds.

The fear of losing those closed to us scares us to no end.

Then, because of the stature of our world today, the political climate of the world and also some social media sights, we are constantly reminded that we can possibly be shot at and/or blown up.

The fear of our own mortality brings the question to light: “Where do I go when I die?”

My friends, living in fear is detrimental to our health and our entire being.

I'm not saying don’t be cautious. Yes we should take steps to prevent accidents and to protect ourselves and those we love.

Fear, though, can overtake our lives when we don't feel safe in our homes, in church or in our lives.

When fear interferes in what we do (or don’t do) every day, we cannot enjoy the opportunity to work, quality times with our family and friends and even the blessings that are given by God.

Sure bad things happen but, and it is the right thing to do taking precautions so to minimize the chances they won't happen.

Friends, there are also many good things that happen also.

Please concentrate on good and the goodness of our God.

I believe there is more good things happening in the world than bad and there are more good people than bad people.

Let's be kind to each other!

Talk to one another and enjoy the time that we do have, with each other.

Allow yourself to enjoy the short time that God has given us, here on Earth.

God loved us first so we can love Him.

By God’s love for us, He shows us how to love each other!

Faith, faith in God, is the answer to fear

Love and prayers,
