Fear can make a big impression
Fear really does little good when it comes to our dealings with others. Fear can make a big impression and bring forth all kinds of reactions that don’t last. There is a reason why it says in the Scriptures that “Fear is the beginning of wisdom”. It can bring change, but fear wears off and then rebellion comes in. There is a reason that Jesus revealed to us the nature of God’s love; it is brought forth in the parable of the Prodigal Son. The Father’s reactions should be pondered over, prayed about and then allow the Spirit to deepen ones understanding of why it is so difficult for us to understand how deeply we are loved by God. Trust is a choice, often made in faith, and in doing that, one's understanding of ‘Infinite Love’ is experienced according to one's ability. It is a life long journey that is undertaken by becoming mindful of what is being sought after.--Br.MD
