Aiden Wilson TozerThere is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear. Fear is a painful emotion that arises at the thought that we may be harmed or made to suffer.

To know that love is of God and to enter into the secret place leaning upon the arm of the Beloved, this and only this can cast out fear.
