Father Henri Nouwen said:

you can choose to live in a house of fear or a house of love. You can't live in both at the same time.

God is love,
and all who live in love live in God,
and God lives in them.
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect.

So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment,
but we can face him with confidence because
we are like Christ here in this world.

Such love has no fear
because perfect love expels all fear.

1 John 4:16-18

As long as we make our home with Jesus,
we live in the house of love
and beyond the reach of
fear factors.
