Bottom line, the truth about fear is it is based on a lie. You are not your body, you are an eternal, immortal being so what is there to be afraid of? The only thing that is real is love. Even Satan, evil and the devil are inventions of man. God certainly didn’t create them, we did.

If we focus on fear we can certainly create events that aren’t particularly pleasing or we can focus on love and have wonderful experiences instead.


I heard this wonderful conversation the other day about what to tell children about Santa Claus and the devil. It really touched my heart. Basically it said to teach the children that the love is real and all the rest is an illusion. It went on to say remind them that great love and blessing surround them and enfold them each and every day.

I am sure a few of you are thinking, yes but what about Satan. I believe that a God powerful enough to create this entire universe has given us free will, including the choice to create mythical beings like Satan. We can give voice to our fears or listen to all the love around us in God’s universe.

So the truth about fear, it is only as real as we make it. So stop making it real and embrace love instead!
