My Name

My name is doubt, I dwell with fear, I frighten people, from year to year. My name is faith, I dwell with cheer, I cast out doubt, I deaden fear. (copyright 10/30/15)

Thanks, Cheryl! The hidden meaning is to take God at His Word and call on Him, whose power is unlimited, rather than to trust in ourselves and in our own understanding, which is so limited.
