The definition of HUMILITY:

1.   A quality by which a person considering his own defects has a humble opinion of himself and willingly submits himself to God and to others for God's sake.  From the Latin word humilitas, it may be translated as "humble", "grounded", or "low" - since it derives from 'humus' (earth).

To let go of fear & have hope, we must become humble.  We must kill our ego.  Let God in.  "Lower" ourselves (lowly in heart), humble ourselves, let go of our own limited perceptions and submerse ourselves in His un-limited purposes.  If we allow this to take place, there IS NO NEED TO FEAR.
