Love and Fear

Lord, grant us, not to be delivered from our fears, but to embrace love. For when we embrace love in actuality, we grow more like You. True love relegates all fear to insignificance, not because it avoids all mishap, disaster, and undeserved evil, but because love that continually grows as we are poured out allows us to connect with the Divine, and ushers us into the presence beyond the veil. Fear surrounded the Holy of Holies, Love tore the veil.
