There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment/(torment KJV...)
1 John 4:18
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Tim.1:7
It paralyzes ponds of ink
With ‘tut-tut, what will people think?!’
And quells with hell’s triumphant leer
The poetry no one will hear
It cuts brave courage to the core
With assumption’s merciless roar
When faith wavers hell’s legions cheer
To see someone fall prey to Fear
It does not trust God or believe
But doubts all that He can achieve
As hell grants gory glimpses here
And hypnotizes Hope with Fear
But God, so rich in mercy hears
He ministers to all our fears
Then hellish anguish fades away
For demons tremble when we pray
But God, so rich in mercy hears
He ministers to all our fears
Then hellish anguish fades away
For demons tremble when we pray
