Fear

Since the beginning of mankind, God has given to man, the ability to make decisions of his own free will. We use that ability everyday of our lives....some we cherish, some we question, some we regret, and some we wait for an answer. We make decisions so often throughout the day, many times it takes no thought at all to make a decision at any given moment. It has become HUMAN NATURE....do and react without giving a second thought.....but a decision is made none the less.
We also have other senses that tie into the various parts of the body and how a decision made, can cause this body of ours to react in many different ways. Rarely do we think about the make up of the human body and how nerve endings and blood vessels and bone, veins, skin tissue, hair, these and many more parts that I will not give the impression I am able to name. But there is one thing that is able to bring all of the senses together to cause dysfunction, loss of appetite, the body becomes frigid, we can become faint, the hair stands, the skin chills, the blood flow increases causing moisture to expel  from the pores of our skins, many different scenarios.
FEAR....the one emotion I believe has such a negative affect on the human body in mind, body, and spirit all in one swoosh. Think about it....this intricate system that makes up the human body. They have to be controlled by something.....yes the brain. Now, did God put man's ability to decide for himself into his brain? No, the brain is a body part. FEAR does not exit in the brain, but in our consciousness and that is where God put our ability to decide. How many times do we make the wrong decision because we were afraid? Has it kept us from a promotion?, a raise?, an opportunity?. Does it stop us from even saying hello to a stranger. Don't get me wrong, I know these times are getting more violent with each passing day....all the more reason to get this fear thing under control. We shouldn't let fear get in the way of living life the way we would like. We shouldn't huddle up into our own corners of the world. I'm not saying be stupid and try to be a hero somewhere or anything like that. We will always have to deal with fear of some sort throughout our lives, but we should NEVER, EVER, EVER let it be a CONTROLLING factor in our lives.
Having a life that you can honestly say you are happy with...isn't that worth Workin On?
