Fear erects walls around us.
We shut ourselves in a prison of our own making.
We cut ourselves off from others.
And we become alienated and cynical.
Fear tells us we must be tough and hard to survive in this world.
We harden our hearts.
And we become callous and cruel.
Fear tells us we must retaliate against anyone who threatens us.
So we react with violence and war.
Fear tells us we must preserve ourselves against challengers.
And we dominate and oppress others.
Give up your fear.
Trust God.
Open your heart.
And give love.
