Afraid?
You wouldn’t think of the filmmaker responsible for Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo as having any phobias, let alone one as rare as ovaphobia
(the fear of eggs).
But the Master of Suspense once admitted that he was “worse than frightened” of eggs, which he said revolted him. So Alfred Hitchcock never tasted an egg yolk. In fact, here’s what he said about them:
“Have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid?”
Eggs weren’t Hitchcock’s only fear. He was as afraid of his own films as most of his viewers were. “I’m frightened of my own movies,” he said in a 1963 interview. “I never go to see them. I don’t know how people can bear to watch my movies.”
So if you’ve never dared to watch Psycho, be relieved that Hitchcock himself would understand your reluctance.
Most people aren’t afraid of eggs . . . but many are afraid of God.
Why do you suppose this is?
Maybe they view God as a punisher.
Or One who hates them.
Perhaps He’s seen as Someone who can’t wait to watch them mess up.
What about you?
Are you afraid of God?
If you have a genuine,
growing,
obedient relationship
with God, you don’t need to be afraid of Him.
Let this encourage you:
“We need have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly; his perfect
love for us eliminates all dread of what he might do to us.
“If we are afraid, it is for fear of what he might do to us and shows that
we are not fully convinced that he really loves us.”(1 John 4:18 LB)
God’s love for you transcends your understanding!
Learn to bask in His love.
And if you’re afraid?
Ask Him to remove your fear and replace it with His deep peace.
You really ARE loved!
