A thought
by Erwin Raphael McManus, (2003-09-04) from his book, Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul (Kindle Location 266). Thomas
Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Think
of all the adventures you would have missed doing if you had given in to the
fear to risk.
Think
of the places you would never have seen if you had given in to the fear to fly.
Think
of all the sicknesses you would have had if you had given in to the fear of getting
a shot.
Think
of all the new foods you wouldn’t have eaten if you would have given in to the
fear to eat something different.
Think
of all the friendships you would have missed if you had given in to the fear of
rejection.
Think
of all the adventures you would have missed doing if you had given in to the
fear to risk.
Think
of all the excitement and all the joy you wouldn’t have experienced if you had
given in to the fear to bring a child into the world.
Think
of all the new worlds that your child wouldn’t have seen if you would have
given in to the fear of their getting hurt.
Think
of the full life you wouldn’t have lived if you would have given in to your
fear to give your life to Christ.
“How often have we surrendered our freedoms
under the weight of our fears?”
So what fear have you conquered so you can really live life to its fullest?
