To love the world is to be afraid of everything

To love the world is to be afraid of everything--

what it may think of me,

what it may do to me,

what may happen today or tomorrow for which I am not prepared.

"The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?" (Ps
27:1 RSV).

This is what needs to be overcome by faith and by not clinging to anything in life.
