Being fully human, Jesus was totally aware of one of our greatest enemies: FEAR. Not only do we fear real "enemies", but we let our imaginations create "monsters" that don't exist at all, allowing us to conjure up the worst scenarios that cause us to hesitate, run , or freeze. We fear what people will think of us, so we hold back from standing up for the truth, for our belief in God, or for our giving financial aid to those less fortunate.We sit on our potential because we fear that God might be asking too much from us and that we might fail. So, why even try? We choose to remain :"flat" and hidden in our own "safe zone." Jesus reminds us that God takes care of sparrows andknows the number of hairs on our head...Are we not worth more than a sparrow? Is fear a chemical condition that can be remedied with a pill or injection? Or can we find the remedy in prayerful reflection on his Word? Spend time with Mt 10: 24-33. Don't leave it until you feel peace displace fear.
