Pressing through your fears

How many times can you remember when fear was the reason you did not do something? When you look back at the paths you have taken,  how many “fear” sign posts would you see? 

Fear can paralyze us and make us vulnerable. It can also dampen any enthusiasm you have in fulfilling your dreams. In the mission work that I do, fear is a constant emotion. People ask how could we carry on the dangerous work we do. There are times when there is no guarantee of returning. There can be a danger of imprisonment or being caught in the inner workings of gangs and street mafia’s all over Asia. I always answer those who asked that I go afraid! I realized that fear is real but something else is more important than fear. What I will accomplish is greater.  I always try to push through that feeling of being scared and triumph over my situation. This is the same when starting a business or doing something extraordinary. Fear can creep in and will try to hinder what you are trying to accomplish. But if you can just push through that feeling of being scared, you will see amazing discoveries that you wouldn’t have seen unless you worked through your fears. The Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of sound mind. You might “feel” fear in your emotion, but your spirit is courageous. Your spirit knows no fear! You are braver than you think. Can you push  through your fears today?
