Fear & Imperfect Love

There is no fear in love.  But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is not made perfect in love.   [1 John 4:18]

The antidote to fear is not courage or determination.  But rather, it's found in the reassurance and calm of love. When we are loved, we are by no means immune to adversity, but we have faith that entwined in the communion of love, is the belief that although we may bend at times, nothing will break us because love keeps us afloat even when we don't have the strength to keep going.  Where is the love that "drives out your fear?"
