Your parents, close friends, and even God himself we are frightened to go to because we fear what may happen. Is that fear really rational half the time? Is God going to be ashamed of us or deny us? Will our parents disown us? Will our best friends turn against us? It is not rational to think those things, yet we still fear to go before them. Many times this feeling is because we know we did wrong or think we might hear something we don't want to hear. You are a voice of reason in a lot of ways. The very fact that people are scared of approaching you in these times show how much of an influence and how valued your relationship with them really is. If they were not moved by what you said, there would be no fear. Fear is a self inflicted thing, fear comes from our flesh, leads us to do things that are going to either not be right or delay it in situations like these. Fear can be a great powerful thing though as well. Fear can lead us to do the right thing. The fear of having to go before and tell you or your parents or God can be enough to make you change your actions. I lost track of where I was going with all of this, but there is some food for thought. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
