Absolute Love is a remedy for Fear!                  1Jn 4:16-18 "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."         It is an irony and a stumbling block that the fear of the Lord brings love to us and all other fear leads us away from being truly loving and finding Absolute Love. What are you afraid of give it to the Absolute Love.        Psa 19:9 "the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether."       Pro 14:26-27 "In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death."   Pro 15:33 "The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor."    
 The Steadfast Love of the Lord is found in turning away from other fears. Fear of anything other than to be separated from God invites evil.           Pro 16:6 "By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns away from evil."
