What lies on the other side of Fear...

 Many times we let our fear get in the way of living out what God created us to do.  I feel like most people get really intimidated when they reach a challenge God has put in front of them and pull back without thinking about what could lie on the other side.  We let our fear and uncertainty get in the way of God's plan for our lives.  So many times we miss out on the beauty that's reached at the finish line because we are to afraid to begin the race. 

This reminds me  a lot of someone who is afraid of heights that is standing at the bottom of the Empire state building looking up in fear.  Going up to the top to see what is up there is not even an option.  What that person doesn't realize is that if they were to get over their fear and embark on the journey to the top of the Empire state building they would see an awesome view of the New York City scape.  An experience that's absolute beauty is only truly experienced in person. 

Much of the time we are the same way.  We run into an obstacle in life and because of fear we stop and turn away without knowing the beauty that lies on the other side.  Without God, Yes getting over our fears is NOT an option, but with God we can achieve anything.
Some times, most of the time, we have to take that leap of faith and embark on that fearful journey,  because with faith we can be sure God WILL show up and help us along. 

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
