~ “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” ~
~ FDR, 1933
Even though I am no FDR
And I do not want to start a war
I do think there is something to fear beside fear
That something is Almighty God, please lend me an ear
He loves us, and we should love Him
But without fear, there’s no such thing as sin
And if our only appeal is to logic or man’s reason
War will be Peace, Truth – Lies, Patriotism – Treason
In fact, it seems the world is almost there now
Time to get back to fearing God again, somehow
Faith VS Fear
By: Miracle Man
3-28-2020
A virus has bequeathed each, a sedentary life,
we try looking past it but often it remains rife,
We answer a door knock and find fear standing.
allowed to enter it becomes thought commanding.
We shouldn’t let concern, become fear that’s dire,
fear disrupts any goals to which we might aspire.
We should try living each day as if it were our last,
through faith and prayer we render fear an outcast.
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”
The man said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
and he was so correct in that regard
Flee from fear!
for fear corrodes the inner spirit
Face the world with an iron resolution
Taste the songs you once knew!
Do you really that that fear will destroy you?
Well - it will !
BUT ONLY IF YOU LET IT
