April 19, 2011 © C. L. Hale Ministries People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. - Mark 10:13-16

April 19, 2011 © C. L. Hale Ministries What are you afraid of?

April 19, 2011 © C. L. Hale Ministries You do know what the Bible says about fear?

April 19, 2011 © C. L. Hale Ministries “Fear is the darkroom that develops negatives into positives.” - Author Unknown

© C. L. Hale MinistriesApril 19, 2011 Fear is the darkroom in which negatives can be developed into positives… Probably because it is in the dark that our negative emotions seem to be the most intense and as hard as we try we can’t dismiss or run away from them, if we are ever going to be free. Probably because it is in the dark that our negative emotions seem to be the most intense and as hard as we try we can’t dismiss or run away from them, if we are ever going to be free. Maybe, because the thrill of soaring begins with the fear of falling and we need to get pushed out of the dark, cozy nests to discover how far we can go. Maybe, because the thrill of soaring begins with the fear of falling and we need to get pushed out of the dark, cozy nests to discover how far we can go. Or maybe, it is because the older we get, the easier it is to pretend to be something that we are not and Rhodas scare or give us courage to let the real you out of you.
