F is for Fear

F is for Fear. It says in Webster’s New World Dictionary that fear is 1. anxiety caused by real or possible danger, pain, etc, fright  2. awe; reverence 3. apprehension; concern 4. a cause for fear

The first two are the ones I am concerned with today.

It is defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection free levitra samples for sexual intercourse. Precautions while buying cheap Kamagra 100 mg for men: While consuming pills like Kamagra, there are some vital precautions that have to be kept buy sildenafil india in mind. In my devotion to God I have always heard that we are to fear Him. In my mind this fear was the first definition and I couldn’t make sense of that in my mind. Why if He’s the God that loves me and forgives me should I fear Him. I have struggled with this concept for years. All that Jesus taught seems counter to the first definition of fear, that is unless I am living a life that is in opposition to my Catholic principals, maybe then I should be living in fear. But on the other hand even then I shouldn’t live in fear if we are going by definition number one.

So the time has come to look at definition number two awe and reverence. That definition does not duel in my mind. It embodies all that I believe the Holy Trinity to be. If I show awe and reverence to God then the lessons that Jesus taught of love and forgiveness make more sense in my human mind. God is all powerful yet He will not smite me and expect me to live in anxiety caused by perceived danger from Him. Instead if He offers me love and forgiveness no matter what I have done if I ask out through my awe and reverence.

The word that comes before Fear in my dictionary is Fealty. I thought that was interesting as I owe my Fealty to the Lord and in return His mercy is mine for the asking. But it is not a relationship based on fear as in the first definition. And I will go with the second. I do not want to be afraid of God so I will live with awe and reverence of Him and His grace.
