Sometimes that which we fear
strengthens our spirit
and gives us a splash of hope.
~~ Harley King
I cannot help but think of the term "fear" in the same way that we think of the word "reverence" or "awe." Psalm 111:10 tells us,
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! (ESV)
So, taking Harley's quote, and applying to this meaning of fear, I would write,
The reverence and awe of the Lord gives us strength and hope in Him is incessant in my life.
Hope on! Happy Texture Tuesday!
Beautiful! I hate to rain on your parade, Denise: there are two that's in the first line. Can't help myself to point out things like that. Still, it does not diminish the thought.

ReplyDeleteI'll fix it...be right back!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words...these lilies were actually planted on my great-grandfather's grave in West Virginia.
ReplyDeleteThis is the third time this week I have come across the word fear used meaning awe or reverence. I like this texture as the frame looks very nice with the photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much...I think "fear" can get a bad rap sometimes...there is a healthy fear. Also, I often think about how much irreverence there is in our society...nothing is sacred. Thanks for your taking the time to comment and stopping by!
ReplyDeleteLove the splash of color and the splash of hope. So very nice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Denise as usual you have found the right quote ... I've not been around much recently with sorting out some family issues but hope to be back on track soon....
