God knows who you are and hopefully you do too.

  9. Fear of Man Hebrews 13:5-6 5Keep your life free from covetousness, be satisfied with what God has given you for he said, “I will never leave or abandon you”.6So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fearfor what can man do to me?” 1 Peter 3:13- 13So who is there to harm you if you are passionately spreading good? 14but even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you will be blessed. So do not fearthem or their threats.
