Fear

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

Real enough to touch,
to taste,
to believe with all
your quavering heart,
doubting mind,
and fragile spirit.

Choosing to run
from the yet to be convinced
faith.
Skeptic
and true believer
in the same moment.

Fear's python grip,
slowly suffocating
and
shape shifting,
wraps itself ever tighter.

Illogical fears
join the mundane
or universally accepted ones,
to form an encyclopedia
for those who would
indulge its contents.

But fear is indeed
as false as shadows,
and with God's light
and Truth
it can be vanquished.

Don't let fear rule, rob,
or ruin your life.
Let God set you free
to live without fear,
permanently.
