I began to realize that when people experience the love of God, it casts out their fear and frees them from guilt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego's insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.
Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn't.
I was raised in a climate where I believed in God because I was afraid of going to hell - and I didn't think that was the right way to fall in love with somebody.
I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.
We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.
I fear God and respect God and love God.
When men don't fear God, they give themselves to evil.
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
I'm easily frightened, and I've also come to realize that old Catholic guilt or remorse is easily stimulated.
