Fear

Did you think you were immune to this
Did you think you could escape without infection
You do all you're able to resist
Just to avoid the danger of rejection

Memory warns you of the past
When it all went wrong

When you think your life is shattered
And there's no way to be fixed again
Love heals your heart
At a time you least expected
You're alive like you have never been
Love heals your heart

Everybody has a wall to climb
That was built to guard the pain that holds them captive
Every smile that they would hide behind
Will try to mask the hurt beneath the surface

Sometimes it's hard to understand
How we're trapped inside
"Love Heals Your Heart" and Third Day

It's a choice to have the right mindset about people. I have always struggled with fear of people. I intend to get past that. Enough being afraid of rejection. Sure, I can basically count on making friends and them eventually leaving, but why should that stop me from making them? I intend to step out in His love and have that be the thing to rule my actions, not fear.
