Do right and fear not



This was a sampler on board one of the ships in the museum, and it really seemed like a good thing to remember. Do right: sounds easy, not always the case. Fear not: also sounds easy at this moment, when things are going fine and I am happy- but then again, what don't I do because of fear? Its not just about not fearing disaster or pain, how about not fearing failure? How about not fearing disapproval? That is a bit closer to home. How about doing right, even if it is scary? Even when I am fearful I will offend or be thought less of? How about then- can I still do right and fear not? Where have I been feeling the need to speak up but have not done it because of fear? Are there habits or actions that I need to get rid of, but have not done it because I don't want to stand out and be different? Help me be unafraid to stand where I am right now and say "This is where I am right now" Help me be able to stand and say it with love and grace.
