Thought Adjuster: “[[Paper 196|The faith of Jesus]] allowed him to face very painful situations without falling into discouragement and [[despair]] because he lived with [[confidence]] in [[the Father]]'s care and His infinite love and mercy. Jesus knew very well that nothing could truly happen to him and that his life was in the hands of his Father; therefore, nothing and no one could take it from him. Thus, he knew how to face death as one who knows that after the bitter drink of today, the spiritual rewards of tomorrow await.
This [[certainty]] is available to all [[human being]]s who [[decide]] to nurture their [[faith]] and make it dynamic and alive. Although you live in this world and are in some way subject to its ups and downs, you can be [[assured]] that what you truly are will never end and that every [[challenge]] you face during your life can be overcome with the Father's help. No matter how great the [[problem]] or how immense the [[suffering]], for those who have a living faith, the hope of a better [[future]] is a [[reality]].
Now consider, how would you live your life if [[fear]] were not the main force driving your decisions? Fear can be [[deceptive]]. Many who consider themselves [[brave]] are true slaves to their fears and unfounded [[anxieties]]. He who fears facing his enemies head-on is afraid, but this is just one form of fear. Fear also [[manifests]] in those who constantly strive to present a false image of themselves for fear of not being accepted by others. Those who don’t [[express]] their [[opinion]] because they don’t want to go against the [[majority]]'s ideas also fear. Those who don’t defend what is right to avoid ridicule and [[shame]] also fear. Those who fight to maintain their social, political, or economic [[status]] to have an [[advantage]] over their peers are full of fear. Those who are full of distrust and do not let their brothers and sisters into their hearts to [[share]] their [[affection]] and [[friendship]] are also afraid.
Fear is one of the greatest and most widespread [[evils]] in [[this world]]. It is perhaps a consequence of the orphaned life that many have lived due to the consequences of planetary [[isolation]]. However, the [[relationship]] of mortal children with their [[Creator]] Father has never been interrupted. None of you were ever abandoned, and the Father himself cares for you, guides you, and offers you the [[inspiration]] and [[comfort]] you most need. There is nothing to fear. Your lives will never end if you so [[desire]]. Your position in [[Family of God|God's family]] has never been [[compromised]]. There is nothing you can do to displease the Father and make him abandon you. This simply is not possible. But there is much you can do to draw closer to God, learn to know Him, and [[experience]] His friendship and divine love. It is simply your desire to find [[the Father]] that promotes the great [[changes]] that will eventually make you exalted beings like God.”
