Love or Fear
“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)
There are really only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, and all negative emotions come from fear.
From love flows joy, happiness, contentment, and peace. From fear flows resentment, anger, hate, anxiety, and guilt.We cannot feel these two emotions at the same time because they are opposites.
If we’re in fear, we are not in a place of love. When we’re in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear.
If you don’t choose love, you will find yourself in a place of either fear or one of its associated feelings.
It’s an ongoing process to let go of fear and to continually choose love.
