No fear, but faith & love instead

As a Christian, we know we aren't to live in fear, but put on the faith & love that God has given to us when we first recieved the truth. It isn't easy when you see the way our nation is going. Some see the big picture, others do not pay attention and seem to be in dreamland. Then, there are those who have a distorted view of the whole thing.

For example, if I see a rusty nail, it is simply rusty. The rust has been gathered there through a time of neglect as the rough weather came and left, begetting the rust. Others would look at the rusty nail and not even see it. Then, others would look at the rusty nail and not understand why they didn't use a non-rusty nail from the beginning to prevent the rust from happening in the first place. Then, others could look at the rusty nail and see the reason why that particular nail was placed in that position, at that time and allowed to stay in that place to develop rust. Everyone sees things differently, don't they?

I've learned that the more you understand spiritual things, the clearer you will be able to see exactly what is going on today in the world. Once that happens and your eyes are open, you will never be the same again.
