1 John 4:18 NIV
18 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.
in true love, there is no fear because the two parties have complete trust and would be able to express themselves with total honesty. theres no unfounded judgment. just support and more love. criticism, but its constructive. it brings you closer to the lord.
perfect love drives out fear which stems from punishment? i feared failure. and some inability to glorify you. and my own badness. but if i am made perfect in love then all worries can leave me, is that right? can it all turn to dust in the blink of an eye? can it be as though i had never feared at all?
can it be like i am yours. as though none of my problems exist? can i finally take complete comfort in you?
this, i hope.
