THE THREE F'S OF LIFE

THE THREE F’s OF LIFE

 I read an interesting article by Michael A. Adeniyi and thought it would be nice to share it with you.  Enjoy!

 FAITH and FEAR are significant measures that determine the FUTURE.  

 Faith and fear are actually infectious because both will spread like epidemics, so you must be careful about the things you listen to and the people with whom you choose to associate.  Many people have allowed the faithless words of others to drive them into despair and thus end up being future failures.

 What is FAITH?

F - Future
A - Actions
I -   Intended
T - To
H - Happen

 What is FEAR?

F - False
E - Evidence
A - Appearing
R - Real

Thus, a person with fear is similar to a coward because ‘a coward dies ten times before their death.’

 Here is a true story that confirms this fact.  A man started running down the street of his town screaming, “The dam has broken.”  Women shopping in the supermarket heard the scream, dropped their grocery baskets and joined him.  Men in the barbershop and offices heard the mob and joined them, as did the police and the firemen.  Soon the street was filled with people screaming, “The dam has broken!”  One old man ran as fast and far as he could and then sat down on the curb for a moment and thought, “I've lived here all my life.  What dam?”

 The truth is that the facts were quite simple.  There was no dam.  There was no danger.

 A short while later the citizens came shuffling back into town, collectively embarrassed by their irrational response to fear.  Some suffered physically from the stampede; some even died.  Thankfully, most survived.  Lesson learned.  Reject FEAR and choose FAITH to create a better present and a blessed FUTURE.

 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (II Timothy 1:7)

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
