"She is fearless"

The most frequent compliment I receive that I ought to reject is that I am "fearless". 

I am a risk-taker in the sense that I do things that are risky from a human perspective, but not a spiritual one.

From a spiritual perspective, it is not a large risk to passionately pray that you will try whatever language is announced next and then try it.

From a spiritual perspective it is not a large risk to go where the need is greater.

From a spiritual perspective it is not a large risk to tell your coworkers that your faith is important to you personally, as opposed to "my parents raised me this way".

From a spiritual perspective it is not a large risk to stand up for the widows and orphans, the disadvantaged in the congregation and in the community.

From a spiritual perspective, it is not a risk to take a job that means you can't be out in service when people can see you often, but you can be out in service twice as much when people can't.

From a spiritual perspective, it is not a risk to stop to speak to and help an unhoused person. 

People think I'm fearless, but I am not. I am so fearful I actually have what once was classified as an anxiety disorder. My strength is not being fearless, my strength is in who and what I fear. My strength is that my norm is that my fear of God outweighs my fear of other people, Christian and non-Christian people alike.

The penalty is that I cannot face a strange rin either camp with the confidence that that individual person will accept me the way I am. But as long as I can keep up this with the purest motives and the humblest attitude I can muster, I do know it means that when I face God, he will accept me.

We must be in subjection to the superior authorities but obey God as ruler rather than men. 

You cannot slave for two masters.

To some extent, I fear everything and everyone. But what we fear most and what we desire most ultimately is what determines our master, and I know who my Master is.

"For he has said: “I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you.” So that we may be of good courage and say: “Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”" - Hebrews 13:5b,6
