Page 5 boldly states :
We fear that who we are is not enough, so we deal with jealousy. We fear not having enough, so we live out of scarcity. We fear not being good enough, so we live with insecurity. We fear not being strong enough, so we cover it up with pride. We fear not measuring up to others, so we wrestle with comparison. We fear chaos, so we grapple for control.
Jenni also explains how Fear hides,isolates,and paralyzes.
But how do we confront this fear,and begin to confront the other Clout killers? Jenni reminds us that as great as our fear might be, the promise is greater...
"Again and again in the Bible God told his children not to be afraid."... and "I am with You always!"
Page 7 says :
We often confront our greatest fear at the crossroads of influence.
We face our greatest fear at the threshold of our greatest
opportunity to make an impact. Not to confront this fear would be to deny
who we are created to be. We’d be sabotaging the very calling and purpose we are designed for.
When I read this, this picture of Queen Esther in One Night with the King came to mind...
