Did God mean Fear?

We are damaged

by the limits of language

by the word “fear”

in so much of scripture.

Did God mean fear,

that we were to fear Him

that understanding God

starts with mortal fear?

Do we have to fear God

our loving Creator,

the Potter, the Father,

that birthed us from dust?

Does God want us to fear Him,

what about our loving Savior,

the Spirit guiding our steps

that leads us to life with God above?
