Fear is a funny thing. It is an emotion that all people will face sometime within their lives. Fear can be experienced on many different levels. From the heart-racing moment of suspense when watching a horror movie- to the breath stealing moment of surprise when something startles us. Even the bravest people in history have had moments of being frightened..
A lot of us are afraid of something. Maybe you are scared of bugs, or the dark, or fighting with people. While many of us have these small trivial, superficial fears, what are you truly afraid of? What is the one thing that you would never be able to face? Deep down, all of us have at least one issue that truly terrifies us....
Recently I have found what that one true fear is, my true fear is the thought of losing the one I love. I have thought I loved before, I thought I knew love, I thought I had experienced it before... only to find those thoughts, those feelings, those emotions were minor to the amount of love you can have with someone. To make that love even better we strengthen it with God in our lives and in him and through him we have found a bond that I never want to lose. What is sad is I don't fear her leaving me or doing anything to cause our relationship to end, but rather I fear me not appreciating her love as much as I should. She has no reason to love me as much as she does, and to put up with me, yet she makes that choice each day to share her heart with me.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
1Co 13:4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
1Co 13:5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
1Co 13:6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
1Co 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1Co 13:8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
