FAITH over FEAR


For this is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen but I can't seem to find my way in the world today. Why? Because I am

Afraid. Of what?

Inadequacy. Failure. Not being enough. But those goals are unattainable.

They are measured by an unbalanced scale. This scale is what

Hinders the success and happiness of millions everywhere. But not me. Not anymore. I put faith

over

Fears. Faith is the fuel I need to keep going. Not only am I

Enough. I am an abundance of what this world needs.

And the time has come for me to shine my light. So from now on, my

Resilience and determination, along with faith, will push me forward whenever I am knocked down, not fear.
