Jesus is never about fear. It's always about love. It is the #1 thing He told us to do. And it's never about religion, which is manmade. It's all about a relationship with a living God. Why do bad things happen? Because of man's desire to be like God, which brought evil into the world. We're the ones who messed things up, and we've been trying to fix it ever since. The reality is we never will. I often find it very interesting how people who have never had a personal encounter God seem to have so many opinions of Him. I wonder who is truly living in fear. But as one reader commented, it's not to late to meet Him and find out for yourself. Like it or not, I'm praying for you.
