Fear: The Worst 4 Letter Word I Know

We can choose to stay stuck in fear. Or maybe, just maybe, there is another way. Fear is the worst four-letter word I know, but there is another four-letter word that brings joy, happiness, and freedom. Which will we choose today?

Transcript

Fear,

The worst four-letter word I know.

It took away my dignity,

My passion,

My drive.

It left me cold,

Aching,

And dying inside.

Fear,

The worst four-letter word I know.

It caused me to doubt,

And it caused me to suffer.

No,

That's not quite right,

Since I chose it as a buffer.

I wanted to protect myself from hurt,

And so I let fear control Janice Burt.

But while lying broken and stripped on the floor,

I decided,

Through tears,

That fear would be welcome no more.

And instead,

I chose another four-letter word,

Love is a better bet.

That's what I had heard.

Turns out it's true what they all say.

Replacing fear with love left me peaceful all day.

Love,

The best four-letter word I know.

It gave me joy,

Happiness,

And set me free.

It had me laughing and smiling,

Feeling good to be me.

It is always a choice,

And we make it every day.

Why don't we all send fear out and invite the word love to stay?
