The antidote to fear is not courage. It is faith.
I first heard this years ago and it has proven true ever since. It especially proves to be true right now.
The time we live in is populated by fear. We are constantly bombarded by media and the people who manipulate them. Their message is to be afraid, be very afraid, no matter the situation of the moment. They tell themselves that they, not we, are in charge then. They recognize that that may be the only way that they can hold our attention.
The time we live in is also populated by faith. We will not hear much about it if all we listen to are the media and the manipulators. "See how they love one another" is an observed fact. The observers of that fact absolutely did not say, 'Hear how they say they love one another.' No, the observation was a statement of this simple fact: "See how they love one another."
At this Holy Holiday time for us all, let's remember that fear does not come from the Divine, we do.
