{ To love, to be loved }

"No fear exists where His love is. 

There is no room for it as it does not exist,

leaving it out of our hearts.

But full-grown and well formed love drives fear out of doors,

expelling and banishing every trace of terror!

That real love for others will chase those worries away. 

Since fear is crippling, bringing thoughts of punishment,

and fear of death and judgement,

he who is afraid has not been made perfect or really learned to love,

showing that one has not reach to full maturity, 

and not experienced His complete perfect love.

_1 John 4:18 (WordRemix: Amp, Common Eng, Contempt Eng, God's Word, NLT, NLV)

-----

"God’s not mad at you; He’s madly in love with you! 

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or where you’ve come from, God’s arms are open to you. He’s longing to show you His goodness and grace. 

It’s His kindness that leads us to repent and change our ways."

_J.Osteen
