2 Timothy 1:7
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us fearful, but gives us power, love and self-discipline (sound mind)."
So why so many of us make decisions based on fear? Fear is the opposite of trust. Are we not trusting God and his word? Parents need to parent out of love and freedom, not out of fear and control. The same goes for other relationships-spouses, friends, family. At the same time we live in a dangerous world that gives us plenty of reason to be afraid. Where is the balance? Maybe to do the best we can with what we know and are able to do, and truly trust what we do not have control over? Hoping for a relaxed weekend with deep breathing in the mix...
