A World Full of Fears

Kyle Kauffman // July 9 2023

There are all sorts of things we may fear in this life. Sometimes fear can be a minor phobia and at other times it can be a crippling panic. Fears can be obvious and very clear. But fears can also remain hidden and be hard to identify. Fear in and of itself is not a bad thing. There are certain things we are right to be afraid of. But fear is a very powerful emotion and it has the ability to enslave us, control our lives, and guide the decisions we make with our lives. Because what we fear will ultimately affect how we live. It’s important to understand what causes us to fear and what lies behind our fears in order for us to better understand why we fear. Ultimately, we want to see what is happening in our hearts that leads us to fear certain things or people. And then to see that the solution to our fears is not simply to stop fearing, but rather to put our fear in the proper place where it belongs.
