These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Perfect Love

Perfect Love removes all fear
for the Lord resides
in each heart, He holds so dear.
There to e'er abide.

Lordly Gift, His loving best
on His chosen saints.
Fear's removed through daily tests.
His Love makes no complaints.

The Spirit of the Lord Above
has fear, that makes us clean,
but resting in His greatest Love
prevents the fear that's mean.
(Psalm 19:9)

Perfect Love is where we wait.
We feel no torment there.
Saving Grace is wondrous great
It gives us no despair.

The growing life of God's own child,
the opposite of fear,
releases power, love, sound mind,
whose thinking is quite clear.
