I Am Afraid! There! I've Admitted It!

If God, as the scripture says, has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind, where does fear come from? My first thought is that it comes from our adversary, the devil. This morning, I had a new revelation! We blame too many things on the devil! I discovered that fear actually comes from me! No, God did not give it to me, it is created in my own mind! It is a bi-product of my own thoughts. When I begin to contemplate my next big adventure, my thoughts usually go to all the things that I cannot do, don't know, haven't learned yet..etc. and poof! There it is full blown fear! Today, I had the opportunity to look fear square in the face!! I acknowledged it and then I sent it away! I used this same mind to look at my next big adventure in a whole new light, the light of  power, of love and of soundness! These three allowed me to see all of the things that I am good at doing, all of the things I already know and even showed me where to find the resources for the thing that I don't know! And God smiled and said "by golly, I think  she's finally got it!"
