there goes the fear again...

i wonder what the world would be like if humanity weren't bound by fear...fear of failure...fear of being hurt...fear of abandonment...fear of intimacy...fear of turning out like our parents...fear of being alone...fear of death...

perfect love casts out all fear...that's in the bible somewhere, isn't it?

but what happens when you're afraid of love? what then?

i made a decision recently to not allow myself to be pushed away by fear...

sometimes i see people who need someone to not be afraid and to simply love them just the way they are, someone to not give up on them even when they push everyone away, someone who will keep loving, gently but firmly...

and i'm praying for the fear to be gone...from you and from me...so that we can love the way love was meant to be done...
