To Fear Fear Itself

This is what makes me human,
my very own brand of fear;
while deep within my soul
His words of comfort I hear.

Listen, I do, to the voiceless words,
a deep drumming of honey, warmed
by love none like I’ve heard,
telling me I face no harm.

Yet I fear this fear itself
this face of the unknown,
even tho in His hands I be
safe, in his haven Home.

His Angels, they surround me
they are so real and then not;
His voice comes through them well,
sharing all of what I’ve forgot.

So I must realize that this fear
is only Satan in disguise,
and I should trust my faith in God
and know my fear is trust unwise.

"For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of peace and of love and of a sound mind."  Amen, Sunshine.  This was beautiful.

Beautiful like a sushine only can be
And so full of thruth
The last words saying everything
Thank you

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
