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. 1 March, 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

"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. Michael |

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. |
