I’ve also come to discover that fear is the opposite of faith.  At least a crippling fear; a fear that keeps you from moving forward interferes with a life of faith. 

 Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.  It does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason… Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a Person… not plans.     

The unknown can be a scary thing.  But from my life experiences true, God-honoring faith is taking a step when you see no floor underneath you.  But how can you do that?  I believe it overflows into another word.  Love. 

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear.” 

So here’s my formula: to overcome fear, you must have faith.  To have faith, you must have love. 

Do you agree, disagree?  What thoughts would you like to add?
