We Fear People

Three basic reasons why we fear other people:
1- We fear people because they can expose and humiliate us.
2- We fear people because they can reject, ridicule, or despise us.
3- We fear people because they can attack, oppress, or threaten us.

These three reasons have one thing in common: they see people as "bigger" then God.
