“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.” - C. S. LEWIS

The opposite of fear is not courage, it’s love. When we truly understand the full and complete love God has for us, we have absolutely nothing to fear. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear...He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
