In my many travels, I have come across people who have never
gone outside of the area in which they were born. Some say it’s because of a lack of
transportation. Some have been quoted to
say that other areas are too far. The
price of gas is too much. They don’t
have the time. And there are those who
never thought about leaving their local stomping-grounds because of FEAR.
Have you ever been outside of where you live? Do you think
it’s too far, or have you not gone on the other side of your town because of FEAR? Fear of the unknown. Fear of other cultures. Fear of not being accepted. Fear of crossing bridges. Fear of going by yourself. Fear of getting lost (there are now GPS’s available,
Google, and they still make paper maps).
Recently my Husband & I had the pleasure of going to
Savannah, Georgia, which is about a two and a half hour drive from where we
live. I don’t know why we never visited
the area before, but now he sometimes works around Savannah. He thought that I would like it and I did. There is a lot of history and things to do
there just as there are probably things to do in your town. But you have to get outside of your comfort
zone and visit other places of interest.
We have just celebrated the proposed time of Jesus’ birth
when the angel of the Lord came to Mary and said …”fear not”. There are
eight times those words “fear not” are mentioned in the book of Luke in the New
Testament. God has not given us ‘the
Spirit’ of FEAR, but He gave us the Spirit of Power, the Spirit of Love and the
Spirit of Self-discipline. So, Fear Not!
