Many people think the opposite of love is hate, but the root of hate is often fear. Fear can be stifling and prevent us from living the abundant life of love that God desires for us? What fears can you give to God in exchange for love?
1 John 4:17-18 MSG
“God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we’re free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love.”
