"Take Courage, I Am Here!"

I got a new book and started reading it tonight. Had to share just this little bit that talks about overcoming things and tossing 'fear' in the back seat:


Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult of cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into prison and slams the doors.

Wouldn't it be great to walk out?

Imagine your life wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, absent the dread of failure, rejection, and calamity.

~Max Lucado

I LOVE that. I'm sure I'll be sharing more as I continue reading...

For now, remember when fear knocks...tell it you ain't buying.
