Fear

One time during my high school days we watch the movie "Coach Carter". It was movie regarding a high school basketball coach and his team and a scene from the movie stuck me. 

Originally the speech came from the poem by Marianne Williamson.

Our Deepest Fear 

by Marianne Williamson 

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

It is our fear that prevents us from becoming who we really are.  We have fear because we doubt our ability, we don't know what we are doing, and we are afraid of being rejected.  Lets us have courage and face our fears.  Let our faith be bigger than our fears as state in Hebrews 13:6.
