Fear is always based on an if

Fear is always based on an 'if' .... if such and such were true, there would be reason to be afraid.

But that's a pretty big 'if'.

The entire separation from God started with an 'if' .... "what would it be like if I were separate from God?"

The thing about if's is. ... whatever they claim, only applies IF its true.

IF someone is in reality threatening you, then you might be justified in being afraid.

IF something has gone wrong in truth, then you might have reason to be upset.

But only if.

What if.... all of the fears that come from all the ifs are unfounded and untrue? What if nothing has happened?

What if the if is the problem?
