I suppose we are all faced with fears of one kind or another. Sometimes, we can be so afraid of failing that we may never try to be adventurous - reach out and catch hold of our dreams.
Yet, as soon as we abandon fear, we are free to embrace love. It’s seems almost too simple.
So, why don’t we turn our back on our fears, whatever they might be?
Perhaps it’s a question of forgiveness. Some people carry a burden of guilt through their whole lives. They obviously either don’t know, or have forgotten that God forgives us when we are sorry, instantly. Most other people forgive us too. The only one who may have a problem with forgiveness is ourselves, because of our wounded pride. So, the burden of guilt continues.
How sad.
It’s takes love to forgive. Each day we are presented with three ways to love -
the love of God - the love of our neighbour - the love of ourselves.
Strangely enough, by loving ourselves, in the true sense, our love for God and our neighbour becomes desirable and easy.
Put love first and fear will fade into the background.
Abandon fear - embrace love.
