That reflection is piercing and profound, it speaks to the heart of spiritual transformation. Fear cannot coexist with divine love, and only through the Atonement can we truly see beyond illusion into the light of truth.

Lord Jesus, You are perfect love, and in You there is no fear. I come to You with trembling, knowing that only through Your Atonement can I be made whole. Strip away the illusions I’ve clung to, the false images of myself and of You. Let me not be terrified by Your holiness but drawn into it by grace. Teach me to see with eyes of love, not fear. Let Your Spirit guide me into truth, where I no longer hide from Your presence but run toward it. May I accept the Atonement fully, that I may know who I truly am, redeemed, beloved, and free. In Your love, fear dissolves. In Your truth, I find peace. In Your presence, I am home. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen and Amen.

No one can look upon the fear of God unterrified, unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. And no one reaches love with fear beside him.

1 John 4:18 (NKJV)

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
