'Cause I'm Scared
How many things do we/have we obeyed... not because we felt it was an actual command from God... but because... just in case... you never know... It might send me to hell?
Or because of our fear of what others might say. You can know for certain that you will be shunned and talked about when you cross certain lines.
I have recently been involved in a conversation that has brought up old fears and made me realize that, in many ways, I am quite the coward on some things.
There are some things that, while I still prefer them, I don't see that the interpretation of scripture I have been taught is true to the word itself. But... I'd rather stick with it because it is easier than living with the ridicule.
It would be so nice to know what part of my fears... even my convictions... are Gods... and which are not.
Has anyone else walked this road?
