"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." 1 JOHN 4:18
I read this today as part of the daily reflection and thought how perfect a versus. Most times we spend our lives saying we love someone while fearing that person and then wonder why the relationship is so difficult, why peace eludes the relationship. This versus reminds us that if there is fear in a relationship, it is probably not a good relationship. Likewise, our relationship with the Lord should not have any fear in it for if we fear the Lord, we deny ourselves the perfect love that we can receive from him.
How is fear keeping you from a perfect love affair with the Lord?
