Days 8, 9, 10, 11: Knowledge Causes Fear to Cease!

I haven't had a chance to post this weekend because I was attending a Model United Nations conference at Vanderbilt University! It was a really cool experience getting to see how the UN works, passing legislation, and figuratively holding the fate of a country in your hands! 
I met lots of different kinds of people this weekend. I've always thought that knowledge and Intelligence makes a person beautiful-- the fact that he or she values learning is an incredibly rare virtue! But I discovered this weekend that intelligence must be accompanied by love, selflessness, and humility in order to be beautiful. It doesn't matter how much knowledge you have if you can't connect and relate to other people-- if what you know doesn't benefit or inspire others, and is only used to belittle people or be advantage to no one but yourself, what is the point? I am amazed at selfless, intelligent people-- they have a desire to serve others and use what they know to raise others up. They have a passion and a love for something that they want to share with everyone! They desire for others to feel the same joy in what they know. How beautiful it is to be such a person! I know that Model UN has made me care more about the trials that my fellow brethren are experiencing around the world. Representing Ecuador and trying to come up with solutions to human and drug trafficking makes me thankful that I have not had to experience such horrors in my life! But more than anything, it helps me to see that others DO experience that, and I have the power to change that! 
Satan fears everytime our feet hit the floor in the mornings-- he is terrified when we get off our knees and go out into the world to change it for good. He is aware of our power, our strength, our faith! He tries to fight us with temptation; even when we fall, he may feel some momentary satisfaction, but I'm sure nothing terrifies him more than to see us rise up again and endure on. Remember that you are incredible, more powerful than you could ever imagine! Happy Monday!
