A Quick Word about Mary

Road to Purity
I was watching a video interview in which the guest mentioned fear. I don't remember what she said because it was kind of an off-hand remark.
But it gave me pause, as I asked myself if there is anything I fear. I assumed there wasn't, because I don't think I tend to be a fearful person.
Imagine my surprise when the list I came up with, spontaneously, was literally endless! I had no idea that fear likely impacts so much of my thought.
I decided to look up fear in scripture, and it is there, in many places. We have tons of reminders in the Bible about God delivering us from fear, about trusting in God, and holding on to him as our refuge and strength.
Ask yourself if fear has seeped its way into your life, maybe without you even realizing. Remember, that in our perfect love of God, fear cannot find a home.
As you loosen the hold fear has on you, may you have less anxiety and more pure joy.
