The Gospel last Sunday was powerful with Our Lord reminding us, NOT TO BE AFRAID!
Perhaps this is a flaw in human nature, a form of weakness that keeps us from doing what God would inspire us to do.
We may not like to think of ourselves as cowardly / someone who is subject to fear, and yet it creeps into all of our lives in almost secret ways that we not even be fully aware of.
Our Positive nature wants us to push forward and discard all and everything that would make us afraid. This is good and yet are we ever totally devoid of fear?
The Apostles were in the company of Christ. They witnessed His miracles and wonderful Powers and yet, they were subject to fear... Why?
I believe that God has created us with a nature that has yet to meet its fulfilment.
God looks at our good will and loves us, yet will also challenge us to become a better person.
One simple way to respond to God is to overcome our fears.
'DO NOT BE AFRAID. I AM WITH YOU, ALWAYS.'
