God is love.
Fear is crippling. 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...
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. 1 John 4
