Silly fear

I think one of my biggest fears is that the people I love and cherish the most don't love and cherish me as much as I do them. Also there is the fear of losing that person's love and friendship by something I do or say. It's silly and juvenile to think these things, but I admit I do. It's all insecurity of course, but then I'm reminded of the rock-solid security I have in Christ's love for me. He not only says it over and over in His Word and blessings in my life, but He showed it once and for all on the Cross. As for the fear of not being as loved and treasured, it gives a small picture of how God must feel when He loves us so much but we only give Him part of ourselves or none at all. His want for us is righteous and holy unlike my fear, but it makes me want to examine my relationship with Him and make it right, because without that solid Foundation there will be no peace in my earthly relationships.
