do you have the courage to face the harsh world??
well, which part of reality you mean??
like people who backstab you, who get buay song with you behind ur back or right at ur face, people who do things that you dun like but you can't do anything about it for ur reputation sake, people who just can't appreciate things people do for them and shoot them back, no matter how small the deed is, people who think their way of doing things are perfect and others are bullshit?? and the list goes on and on....
are these the reasons to be skeptical about everything, like when people treat you nice, you think they will backstab you one day??
are these the reasons to stop being childlike, treating everyone with 0% doubt--love thy neighbours??

think about it.

before i go on, WAIT!! are you guilty of any of those above?? dun worry, i am also not perfect.
but i am ( 4given = 1 man + 3 nails ), have you asked and believed?

my response is this.

don't be afraid!!

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

continue to be child-like and love them like how God loves you. Confront ur skeptism. pls don't "love" out of any ulterior motive, because you won't be different from a two-sided person. let ur love comes out of ur Father's great love.

1 John 4:18-20 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

we should not be influenced by the world but influence the world. (i don't mean coercsive domineering). shine ur light, let them see God through you!!

Philipians 2: 1-5 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. 2Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

no matter how much the world hates you, know that God still loves you, so much so that He sent His only Son down to die for ur sins so that you can be reunited back with Him :D Hallelujah! if you have anything bothering you, dun forget it pray about it. i am sure ur Father will listen to you.
