Chapter 6 Of Fear and Faith

Fear sucks the very life out of hope, rendering us helpless--frozen captive in a state of never-ending pain. Once we can recognize what we are really afraid of, our faith can help us summon the courage necessary to move us from fear to hope.

Hope is often the smallest light that keeps us alive just enough to take the next step, which then feeds our faith and gives us even greater courage to pick ourselves up from the darkest tragedy, and march forward over the most difficult mountains, towards that light.

These are just my thoughts. What are yours? . . .
