Fearing Factor

Whenever I am alone with my quiet times, I’ve always wondered who is braver—the person who has no fear of the one who has much fear but overcomes it. I fall into the second category most of the time. Imagine you do too. Almost every day we face circumstances we think might be too much to handle.

I have known many people filled with courage. My favorite is my mother when she was still alive. A pregnant women who was about to deliver her baby after a month of her due date. But delivered it early. This was happened to her again as her first baby was also a premature baby. She knows that it’s a risk for the baby’s condition when she will be delivered in premature way. The women had all her courage to face it as she was aware that it could be the cause of the death of her unborn child.

A friend who face the full courage about her mom who was on coma. He had to be strong to accept what will be the result in the end, as he knew that very few were healed with this kind of illness. But with all the strength he manages to have that courage to face the will the truth.
A woman tells her spiritual voyage has taken her through the darkness and the light. She struggles a lot with doubt and how a high purpose overcome it.

The ultimate triumph of faith over fear, of life over death; yet even Jesus shivered in the Garden of Gethsemane. To be afraid is to be human. It is our faith that bridges the gap between fear and action.
