Fear is a powerful divider

     
           We all have fears. We react to those fears differently. Sometimes they lie close to the surface and other times deep within. The difference is whether or not we let our fears rule us or cast them aside. In relationships we may fear rejection, a repetition of past emotional trauma, loneliness, devastation, abandonment, or abuse. Our fear has the ability to make us hear things that are not said or assume things that are not really occurring at that time. The ability to differentiate between that fear and the truth will determine if we will let love win. If we will set our fears aside and get to know the person standing before us, learn to love them, learn to deal with their fears as well as ours; listen to what that person is really saying we may find a treasure we didn't know existed.
