I Am Afraid………
I am afraid………
You want more
Than I have ever been ready
To give.
I am afraid………..
You will reject me
Because I am too slow to commit myself
To you.
I am afraid……….
You want me
To look at myself inside
Where I hide.
I am afraid………
You mean it
It’s not a game that you play
It’s real.
And I’m afraid……….
I’ll lose you
And I don’t want to be
Alone
I’m afraid…………
Please help me
To love you the way that you want it
To be

Just some elementary thoughts on loving someone and the emotions involved in all of it, one of them being fear of commitment…….

Insightful, that our vulnerability in love involves the call to also look more deeply into ourselves. . . Past the facades. . . Into truth. It’s funny how afraid we feel facing love, and yet the Bible tells us, “Perfect love casts out fear.” I used to think that meant my job was to cast fear out of my mind (something like you’d throw out a pest trying to get into your kitchen) and, oh, the effort I gave it! Now, I have come to believe that it is God’s love –consistently patient, kind, enduring–that has a delightful way of dissipating fear. My part ends up simply a joyful response to His character!
