God’s love in me doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness or injustice, but rejoices with the truth; bears up under all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. The love of God in me never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

There is no fear in love; but perfected love cast out my fear, because fear carries the expectation of punishment. I overcome all fear by maintaining God’s perfect standard of love in my life. 1 John 4:16-18
