Nothing but Faith and Hope

A lot of times in life, we have to take some risks and make tough decisions but the normal human reaction to change is resistance; we would rather have things the way we are used to, I mean, change can be very scary. The devil uses inertia to ruin a lot of projects, you don't want to know how many people die with their dreams simply because they didn't have courage enough to step out of their comfort zones and give it a trial. 

I came across a very nice motivational quote recently. It goes thus: "It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." -Alan Cohen. I know you would agree with me that this quote is true. I have actually had moments when I didn't feel courageous and instead of facing my fears, I would make excuses and procastinate. With God's help, recently, I have become more courageous, I have learnt to procastinate less, focus my mind more on the things I want and less on the things I fear. By so doing, I have become a happier person.

Do not be afraid

Happy new year to you all.

Our message for today is one thing that affects everybody, young or old, rich or poor. Fear does not respect any status. We all have experienced it and will still do once in a while ranging from the fear of the future, our family getting it right, not losing our jobs and even little fears such as meeting a new person.

Fear is one of the greatest tools the devil uses to manipulate people. He knows that we will not achieve anything once fear sets in. But we thank God who has made us conquerors by giving us the spirit of love, power and self-discipline instead of fear and timidity. 2 Timothy 1:7
