Notes About The Poem

FEAR: There is a morbid, improper fear.  I write about a proper fear... "Godly Fear."               Ps. 19:9-The fear of Jehovah ( God ) is pure lasting forever"   Ps.111: 10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom."( The wisdom to love God so much you don't  want to make him sad, or disappoint him, )                                                                                                        Ecclesiastes12:13 The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is : Fear the true God and keep his commandments, this is the whole obligation of man.

Belle, sadly world is self centered. Godly fear means we love God so much, never want to make his heart sad, or displease him. Agree... if only!

Vijay, so nice of you to visit, and offer your best to me. I don't expect this was the thought expected behind fear. Hope scriptures add to importance of Godly fear. Thanks again!
