"When you have come to the edge
Of all the light that you know
And are about to drop off into the darkness
Of the unknown,
Faith is knowing
One of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on or
You will be taught to fly."-Patrick Overton
Debbie Ford has written a book called: "The Right Questions." The title of chapter 12 is: "Is This an Act of Faith or Is It an Act of Fear?" "Every important choice we make is being guided by one of two places: either it is an act of faith or it is an act of fear." Within all of us, there is the power to make wise, conscious choices every day. In my own life, when I am 'in my head too much,' I choose to relax, breathe and trust that, "there is a power, an unseen force, guiding (us) me." I also reach out to family and some of my best friends for support and listen to their positive words of wisdom. All of us face challenges and we never want to feel alone."Fear, on the other hand, keeps us rooted in the past." "Fear shuts us down, while faith opens us up." These are just a few quotes from Debbie's book that, help me choose "faith over fear." I hope these words help you, too, trust you have the Divine support from the Universe.

ReplyDeleteWell said. You are so right about how we act out of either fear or faith. The roads are very different. I appreciate your spirit and your attitude. Sounds like we share the faith road. God bless. I enjoyed stopping by. If you are so inclined, feel free to come on over and see what I have going on.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Jeannine. Too, fear is a learned emotion. Little children know little fear and are taught fear. That could be good in the case to protect oneself, or bad in the case of building poor emotion.
ReplyDeleteFaith overcomes fear. God tells us to fear no one or anything, but Him. Our faith in Him, like you say, Jeannine, overcomes our fear.
Keep posting positive inspirational ideas. It's uplifting. Thanks.
