FEAR
15to one he gave five
talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability.
...
21His master said
to him, 'Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have been trustworthy in a
few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your
master.' ...
25so I was afraid,
and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.'
...
29For to all those who have, more will
be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even
what they have will be taken away.'"

Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is
our light, not our darkness,
that
frightens us most.
~ Nelson Mandela
Fear imprisons,
faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith
empowers;
fear disheartens,
faith encourages; fear sickens, faith
heals;
fear makes useless,
faith makes serviceable.
-- and, most of all,
fear puts hopelessness at the
heart of life,
while faith rejoices in its
God.

24Then the one who had received the one talent also came
forward, saying, 'Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you
did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed;
25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in
the ground. Here you have what is yours.'
