What If vs. Even If

What If vs. Even If


         I’ve heard “Fear is ‘What if’ and Faith is ‘Even if’ “  So the first shows questioning and the second is reasoning through.  Fear creates separation between us and others, but the other builds community.

        Strengthening the bonds of our togetherness reveals there is much more than the limitations that are apparent.  When we can get beyond the queries into points of stability, we’re assured of confidence to be able to accomplish great deeds.

        Putting ourselves in good environments achieves positive results, and makes confident strides forward.  Ideas sparked through others inspire and energize us to do amazing things.

        We cannot do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good we can do.  The things we make happen may improve the zones we touch and cause enhanced creativity.

        To edify others lifts them up to levels beyond any they have expected, yet the gift is cherished.  Being builders takes effort and dedication to that craft and fulfilling the plan.  Take the “Even If” step ahead; Just Do It.

 

Also -- Courage doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid.  Courage means you don’t let fear control you.

  1. Well thought and written. How does any small good work in the face of increasing evil? It works small. It works.

  2. Some don't do anything because they can only do a little, Our "Just do" can have a great impact.
