We dwell in the perfect love of God.  
But as imperfect people perfect love is not complete in us.  
Since we have yet to know the fullness of perfect love  
we sometimes feel fearful.
In this life, here on earth, we know fear;
but not the torment and agony of death and judgment
John is referring to in this passage because
God in His love has promised us eternal life with Him in Heaven.

Was there a time when you felt fear that was overwhelming?
How do you deal with fear in your life?

Blessings this day of grace,
