Fear Not!

Children are taught wrongly to fear God

God is a huge mountain amendable to true Love. There is a good book ‘Embraced by Light’ written by Betty Jones. She has a death experience; two angels guide her to the afterworld. She is led to Jesus Christ encircled by a Glowing Light, and as she steps forward, He holds her in a wide embrace. The author describes this saying, ‘I was brought up in the catholic faith and we were taught to fear God. I never dreamt that Christ could be so loving and so full of mirth. I never knew that God has so much love for me. Like a fool I was always afraid of Him.’

God is a very jovial person. He is not a serious, somber person as you have led yourself to believe. Children are taught wrongly to fear God. We often hear parents scold their children ‘Eat properly or God will pierce your eyes’. You are teaching wrong things. God is an embodiment of Love - a friend to be loved, not a friend to be feared.

So, do not fear God, regardless of what anyone says. God is one to be loved, show Him Love and He will reciprocate that infinite times, in infinite ways.

A fellow who is not bothered like me is willing to laugh at the whole world because I know my worth. He who laughs last laughs best.
