The right attitude to fear.

The right attitude to fear. A Christian finds an answer to fear in his faith. Is there anyone among us who has not encountered fear in his life? How many reassurances do we receive during our life? And yet the assurance of Jesus – until the end of time, is still temporal: “Do not be afraid” (Lk 12:4). We do not need to be afraid of what we do with the intentions of Christ. Whoever believes in Christ and acts in the spirit of Christ should broadcast from the ” roof” what he heard “in his ear” so that the words of Jesus become known to the whole world and nothing will prevent everyone from realizing them. Indeed, the one who will fulfill the will of the Teacher – Jesus, and proclaim his words will encounter many difficulties and dangers. He finds himself like a sheep among wolves, and he has to reckon that his action may also bring him martyrdom, if not bloody, then at least bloodless.
Even in such a case, the witness need not be afraid because the murderer can kill the body, but the soul he cannot kill. We must fear the One “who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Mt 10:28). The Creator cares for all His creation. If a sparrow does not perish without his will, no hair will be lost on the head of a man dear to God. Throughout the text, one can see God’s great concern for man. Fear is in a person’s blood from birth to death due to original sin, which is all a motive of fear. Why is there so much fear when we believe in God? How many words express this state of ours: fear, timidity, apprehension, horror, alarm, dread, panic, terror, uncertainty, restlessness, threat, dismay, trembling, shaking, and how many other names are there for the state of mind and body when we approach the wrong to your God.
“Do not be afraid!” these words of Christ are to be realized by all of us who have believed in Christ. We must not be intimidated so quickly because fear makes our lives unpleasant and difficult. It destroys and enslaves us to fear when we base ourselves on what people think about us, what they say about us, what they write about us, and how they treat us. We must not be ashamed of our Christianity. When we faithfully stand by Christ, He will take care of us. To be faithful to Christ even in difficulties and unpleasant things, to confess Christ, even in front of those who do not have the best relationship with God, faith, the Church, Christianity, the Pope, quickly brings peace, joy, satisfaction… When we put God first, it is beautiful, functional, and suitable for us. What God from us asks. When we make God happy with our behavior. Our faithfulness to God’s word is the guarantee of our eternity. We must not hide our Christianity from someone who has power, position, education, etc. and does not believe in God. It is suitable when someone says, and possibly according to whom he lives, that he is a Christian in his soul, but outwardly, in his behavior, he behaves in such a way that he does not show it. The Pope is not afraid! He accepted the words of Jesus and lived in their intentions. Jesus commanded us all: “Do not be afraid” (Luke 12:4). Let us pray: “Lord, we do not want to be afraid anymore. Lord, we are not afraid anymore. Lord, you are our security.”
