If you are ensnared by fear of people, you will only be able to go so far in God before you get jerked back by that snare, just as a leash limits a dog's reach.
For instance, someone may say something negative about you that hurts or offends you. As a result of what that person says about you, you may choose to pull back from doing what God has called you to do.
Personally, I don't want to be limited in my life by a fear of people. I want to go all the way in God. I want to do all that God has called me to do.
