"When You See Fear, You Bring Faith"

Pastor Kelly said that quote. There is more to the quote but this caught my attention. Itrs true. Sometimes all we do is bring fear. But the moment we become Christians, there is something else that can take that place of fear. It is faith. Why are we so scared in walking acrross the street to talk to that woman in need? Why are we so bent on going to another nation only to follow a trend cuz its IN to help others in other countries but not the people in our communities in need of help. Its fear. We are scared of ridicule from people close to us, even if its physically. But we shouldnt care. When Moses said OH I CANT SPEAK... God wasnt saying OH I DIDNT KNOW MY POWERS DEPENDED ON HOW YOU SPOKE. Nope. We are but ashes compared to God. And ashes is being generous. I am not being critical on anyone else. God will not force us to go out to the world unprepared. He will open doors when we are prepared. I am being critical with myself. I have had so many opportunities but ive just passed them. I want my faith to not just be a stance on things. We are not called to stand. It even says in Psalm 1:13 "Blessed is the man who does not... stand in the way of the sinners." There are two types of sins. Sins of Commision, sins that we do and think. But there are Sins of Ommission as well, sins against God by not obeying what He has ordered. And fear can lead up to the sin of ommission. Simply put, my faith must take the place of fear.
