The first two lines are what fear does to us, the last two is what we create from it.
It is needed or with what would we know to create, and endure to then appreciate our worth 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Fear certainly does lock your thoughts into repetitive mode making not only your mind weak but your entire being slowly becomes weaker.

Fear is caged, until you give room to steal your joy. And when your heart is distracted, it came to harass your mind. But God, His love has the key. To put that devilish fear, back into its hellish cage!

You expressed this beautifully. Hope you’re okay
I wrote something about fear yesterday and then I had a couple of friends tell me they wrote/felt similar things. When we express our fear, it dissipates somewhat. And others reach out in understanding and comfort.
I feel, anyway.
All the hugs 💋⭐
