fear

"What saves us from fear is not courage, but compassion."
                   Hubert Neth

I hate to speak for this great man, but what I heard him saying was this... When we are struggling personally, when we are broken, when we are a mess, you can't power yourself through it.  The sacred act that saves us from ourselves is the act of caring for another.  When I care for another, my mind is off of me and onto you.  When I show compassion to another, my heart is no longer focused on myself, but is now moving towards another.  My pain is swallowed up as I am lost in your pain.

Compassion save us from fear.
Something to think about.........

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
