2 Tim 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love & a sound mind. 1John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear…. Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, & He answered me & delivered me from all my fears. 1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1Peter 4:8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Col 3:14 Above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. —I have learned that there is a lot of joy & fulfillment that comes from giving, provided that giving comes from a place of love & not fear! Do you believe that if love is not shared, then it is not real love! Do you believe that there are those that can’t even experience real love because of the fear that binds their hearts? What about the ones that do nothing more than take & take! The ego within tries to manipulate or control! Is the ego empty from taking, manipulating or controlling? Where is real balance found? God is the only one that really knows! Who is willing to find real love by surrendering to God? It is found in surrender! Do you fear surrender? Love vs fear! It is a struggle! Surrender is the final battle, because it is the submission to God! That is the only thing that overcomes fear, as well as control, & manipulation! Learning to Love right, always leads us closer to God! Love Mel
