Saying Good-Bye to Fear

There is one barrier to love that deserves special mention because it is so crucial to the second call of Jesus Christ — fear. Most of us spend considerable time putting off the things we should be doing or we would like to do or we want to do — but are afraid to do. We are afraid of failure. We don’t like it, we shun it, we avoid it because of our inordinate desire to be thought well of by others. So we come up with a thousand brilliant excuses for doing nothing. We put things off, waste the energies of life and love that are within us.
