Agree that many things in our lives we do with the expectation of the reaction to our action. It starts from early childhood. When children break their mother's favorite vase, they know in advance her reaction to it. When in school, we do not do the home task, we know that we will have the bad mark . And so it continues throughout our lives.
But the response is not always as we expect. So when we first encounter with such a situation, in the future we fear unpredictable response. When a little girl says a boy about her feelings, she has no idea that they may be rejected. But with this it all begins.
I thought about it three days ago, when my close friend said that she was afraid of the reaction to her actions in relation to one person. And before that I did not even think that this person really can not react the way I imagine it. At first I thought that I am some kind of frivolous, irresponsible person and firstly do, and then think. My friend read these words in my eyes and said, "No, you're all right! I just need to get rid of the fear. "
And here I was thinking about how good it is that God knows beforehand our reaction to His actions in relation to us and to others. I am very glad of what we are predictable for God, but He is unpredictable for us :)
I do a lot of things in my life and fear the reaction of others to them. Because of that I became withdrawn and dependent on human opinion. I really do not want someone else make this mistake. I want to say that we should not fear bad response, because it will still happen. It doesn’t depend on whether you expect it or not.
Thank God I finally ceased to be closed and to depend on other people's opinions, because my Dad helped me to trust Him. I do not care about the response. God takes care about it and about everything else! I do not blame everything on His shoulders, because I am lazy to track human behavior. I just realized that only God knows the hearts of men, their minds, which stores all the responses.
I trust in God, and what you, my dear, I wish! For the Lord is stronger than everyone, His love is more than our love, His forgiveness is more of our sins, His help is more than our needs even put together! Amen!
