Unafraid

If I weren’t afraid, I’d…
… feast sumptuously, satiating my cravings midst well-being’s fullness … feature myself along my twelve-month color scheme of saintly fashion … fly over Mt. Everest, then trek at its pinnacle with my gratitude flag … free all biblically righteous activists, accused as religious fugitives … fathom futility’s frame against frustration-fall … flee to family’s joyous feedings around blessings’ flow … fulfill my own desires, defying folly’s flair … fire-up my heart’s fixations… Fueled by God, firmly I cling to Him, thanking Him for putting in my heart fear* that's reverential so by faith I can freely obey and willingly follow Him along holiness-bliss of fervency’s fortitude.
*Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Beata, such boldness (II Tim 1:7)! I enjoyed your alliterations and robust language (sumptuously, fulfill, fixations, firmly, fortitude), and as always, your faith in God proclaimed powerfully with support from Scripture. Well done! ~ John
