Fear....

The world is full of people who "would have", "could have", or "should have". A common theme that resonates through those statements is fear. Fear of "failure", fear of "what others will think" or fear of "how will we pay for this thing". It doesn't make a different what the fear is, the end result is a person whose paralyzed. You've been there before. You've had dreams that never came to pass because you gave up on them because the fear was too intense.

Fear can be a great thing. It can be the catalyst that causes you examine the cost before you jump. It can be the clarifyer of what you are called to do. Through the right lens and harnessed appropriately, fear can be a powerful tool in your hands. But all too often fear ends up a straight jack that restrains a person from experiencing God's best. The road of life is littered with well intentioned people that gave up on a dream...how about you? Have you given up on a dream that God put in your heart because of the "what if"?

Don't let fear rob you of enjoying God's best! Refuse to believe the lies any longer, stand in who you are in Christ, grab your dreams and embrace the fear. Let it be a catalyst that propels you forward rather than a pitfall that paralyzes you for life!!
