Contemplating how love and fear are opposites, Steve Kline took a few liberties with 1 Corinthians 13 and wrote the following:
Love sees the best in people and fear sees the worst.
Fear is impatient and is evil; fear envies and lusts for what others have;
fear parades the self for all to see; fear puffs up; fear is rude, disrespectful, and demeaning,
fear seeks its own gain, fear is provoked and brings the self under the control of what is feared;
Fear thinks evil continuously; fear rejoices in iniquity and lawlessness; fear rejoices in lies;
fear is impatient, it bears nothing and demands everything now;
fear believes nothing and is skeptical of everyone;
Fear despairs and says all is lost;
fear waits for nothing and takes action immediately.
I have acted in that fear. Sadly, I still do.
But, praise God I'm learning more and more to walk by, with, and in, Christ.
