faith.

The best dreams are the ones we are unable to execute in our own strength.

What does it look like to be fearless?  Better yet, what does it look like to have unshakeable faith?

The absence of fear my indicate a lack of concern, a numbness caused by calloused wounds, or even an obliviousness to the situation.  In contrast, unshakeable faith can serve as an armor that allows the wearer to enter the heart of the battle with confidence or step into the darkness of the unknown with full assurance that illumination rides on their coattails.

Faith is personal.  Faith is a decision.  Faith is a permanent adherence.  Faith is not the silver bullet that shows up in the barrel of a gun on a moment's notice.  Faith is the product of endurance, characterized by commitment.  The belief that something will come to pass or that a dream will be realized is not supported by a fleeting agreement.  Trails in life are guaranteed and, without a firm foundation of trust, the house will fall.  Torrential rains and hurricane winds come to mock dreams, but the labor invested in establishing the groundwork will be the true test.
