3. Many people are driven by fear. Their fears may be a result of a traumatic experience, unrealistic expectations, growing in a high-control home, or even genetic predisposition. Regardless of the cause, fear-driven people often miss great opportunities because they're afraid to venture out. Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love. The Bible says, "Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life-- fear of death, fear of judgment-- is one not yet fully formed in love." 1JOHN 4:18 (MSG)
