“Fear is stronger than love, remember that.
Fear is stronger than love, all that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it
came to fear.” Tupac Shakur
I think when he said that he was talking about loyalty and
integrity when making choices that have to do with others. The type of person I am, I always like to
examine myself. You know the saying;
when you are pointing the finger at someone else there are 3 pointing back at
you.
Anyway, lately I’ve been hearing this in my head. I guess it’s because at this point in my
life, I’m confronting a lot of my own fears.
Death, love, success, failure and financial hardships. I don’t think I need to explain death, so
I’ll just dive right in to love. I know
it sounds crazy. How do you fear
love? I’m not really sure I understand
it myself. Still working on the hot mess
that is me.
Success is lightweight scary too. I think I fear that the most because I know
that eventually I will have to be true to myself which means being and staying
true to God. And that always leads to confrontation. Probably because I can come off a little
condescending and judgmental which I don’t mean to be. It’s just I can’t make my mind not know what
it knows.
Correction; I’m not really scared of failure anymore. Been there, done that. But financial hardship is scary. And by that I mean breaking the
chains on my mind that keep me building someone else’s dream instead of
building my own. It takes a lot of
strength to walk away from financial security.
Or at least the appearance of
financial security.
The way I understand Gods love though, is that it will
conquer fear. Gods’ perfect love can
overcome fear. When I write, or when I
do something that I’m scared to do; I just think about God and ask for the
courage to push forward. I’ve been
repeating that to myself actually. That
love (God’s love) can overcome fear. Hopefully when the day comes when I have to
face death or the threat of death that I will hear God whisper to my heart
words of love so my soul will be at peace.
I wish that whomever Pac was talking about when he said that,
knew of Gods’ perfect love. Maybe if
they did he’d be alive today and more of us would be unplugged. Guess that’s why he’s Black Jesus! (Smiles) There were lessons in his life and his
death. When it’s my time to choose, I’m
choosing love. I'll probably still be scared, but my heart will always choose God's perfect love.
