FEAR OR FAITH?

     We either live by faith or we live by fear. We can't have it both ways. One or the other guides us and motivates us and establishes our place on earth. Fear is a watchdog position, full of angst and suspicion, while faith trusts in whatever may come.
     Of course, most of us flop back and forth, from one side to the other, but life is always better for us when we're on the faith side. So let's catch ourselves in fear and remember our blessings and all that we've come through. If life were about justice instead of mercy and grace, it seems to me we'd be living very different lives.

I am willing to let go of my fear and trust in the gift of grace.
