Faith vs. Fear

Faith vs. Fear. It was an interesting thought that just popped into my mind. I started thinking about how different they are. But then I realized, they're not very different at all. All men are guided by faith or fear-one or the other-for both are the same. Faith or fear is the expectation of an event that hasn't came to pass or the belief in something that cannot be seen or touched. A man of fear lives always on the edge of insanity. A man of faith lives in perpetual reward.

Faith is to believe what one has not seen. The reward of faith is to see what one has believed.

Many men do not consider themselves men of faith nor of fear. Instead they consider themselves men of reason. Reason can only be stretched so far, but faith has no limits. The only limit to your realization of tomorrow is the doubt to which you hold fast today.

It is a fact that great leaders-great achievers-are rarely realistic by other people's standards. Somehow, these successful people often considered strange, pick their way through life ignoring or nor hearing negative expectations and emotions. Consequently, they accomplish one great thing after another, never having heard what cannot be done. That is precisely why one should never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
