FEAR VS FAITH

 

 Blessed are those who are able to impose their faith on someone or something. Faith creates a feeling of security in life. You never feel alone. You feel a hand above your head, an unseen force that is always protecting you. Faith unfolds miracles. What are miracles? It is something that surpasses human judgement. You just cannot explain, because it is an experience. Jesus said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ’’Move from here to there,’’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’’ On the strength of our faith we can achieve the greatest feat.

Faith in ourselves is a great asset. It gives us the strength and confidence to achieve our goals. All legendary people had faith in the Cause that they represented or in the Vision they pursued.  This enabled them to build great institutions. Thus, they left behind a legacy for generations to emulate. Faith in themselves was their greatest strength. Faith has to be unshakeable. It has to be a constant. It cannot keep vacillating.

On the contrary, fear incapacitates us. It does not allow us to do our best, even if we are capable and have the potential to do so. It creates doubts in us. We cannot move forward, even if we want to. It is a deterrent to growth and success. Fear cripples us from exploring possibilities. Fear makes us weak. It makes us nervous and pulls us down. We feel helpless in testing situations. Fear of the unknown or fear of any kind reveals the absence of faith.

I owe my growth to my faith in myself and my unshakeable faith in the omnipresent and the omniscient. When the situation is beyond our control, we realize that we are mere mortals. My faith in my God has only protected me in all challenging situations. My faith has given me the confidence to remark, “This too shall pass.” My faith has been validated several times. Yet I have held on to it. Never expect a challenge free life. It is a myth. Life is beautiful in spite of and not because of.

Faith creates a positive feeling. Whenever the world has told me that I can’t, I have always trusted my inner voice which kept telling me that I can. Nothing can stop us if we are strong in our faith. What we conceive and believe, we can achieve.  Faith is, believing in what you cannot see, but know that one day you will see what you believe in. Faith works; faith only works!
