Fear or Love

Fear or Love

All human actions are motivated
by either fear or love.
Every thought and action is based in
either love or fear.
Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down,
retreats, runs, hides, hoards and harms.
Love is the energy which expands, opens up,
sends out, stays, reveals, shares and heals.
Fear wraps our bodies in clothing;

Love allows us to stand naked.
Fear clings to and clutches all that we have;
Love gives away everything we have.
Fear holds close, grasps, rankles and attacks.
Love holds dear, lets go, soothes and amends.
I will fear no one because the Lord is
my light and my salvation.
I will never be afraid because the Lord protects
me from all danger.
