1 John 4:18

1 John 4:18 tells us: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”

And so when we are agitated, troubled, depressed, fearful; or just plain angry: Angry at the world, angry at our children, at our spouse, at the f***er tthat just cut me off in traffic, what I must do; what I have to do is the most diffcult thing in the world, especially if the hurt is deep, if the hurt is so personal I want to kill, maim, harm, get revenge on the person who has assaulted my opinion, my space, my moral, or ethical code. And it’s even mnore difficult when someone harms my family. Like in the book/movie THE SHACK and the masin character has his daughter raped and musrdered to turn around and accept GOD, albeit as a black woman whom he refers to a PAPA, and he Forgives. This of course if a novel, but this is the true way of Christ Consciousness, to truely forgive and allow GOD to take over the whole show.

In recovery I have learnt to “let go and let GOD”. This is one of the greatest things I have learnt. To Let Go and Let GOD. To forgive, at times difficult to forget, but we must forgive and clear the air for continued dialogue, or at least to find closure with the most diffcult and hurtful experiences. This forgiving transitions us from fear and hate, into LOVE. Love will always conquer fear. LOVE is All there IS! John Lennon sang about that, and he’s got something there.
