Yet there is no fear at all in Perfect Love..... (yes, it is R A R E, and unworldly)....

as <rarely> seen also in children who were not taught to fear so many things, nor anything, but raised in the way they should go... honestly , with truth and love and trust instead of deceit and not love and not trust.

If I was to think of one thing that has kept me from falling into mortal danger, it would have to be stopping still when fear hit me.

"Stop! And think" Fear says.
What if you are misunderstanding fear with respect?

I think we all know fear when it comes :)
Then maybe you need to be perfected in love? Its so important for a Christian to eventually transition from fear to respect. Then you find rest for your soul; peace with God. You don't do things out fear, you don't do them because that's not who you are, that's not your identity in Christ. When you understand that, it becomes easy to resist the devil.

One time a person said she heard someone else was plotting something against a family member. She said she heard the person say she was going to call people to make a group to go against that family member. But then the woman making the plot said something along the lines of, "Everyone, except Dee (me), she won't cave". You have no idea how happy I was to hear that.

Now you're putting words in my mouth that I never said. You can't do thing's out of fear, because fear is telling you to stop and think. If you don't listen to what fear says, you run a high risk of serious danger.

Not so.

Why does a thief fear of getting caught?
Because he/she is risking their life. Fear always comes first before you start down a dangerous path, then stays a while after so you'll learn not to return the same way.

I have got myself into many dangerous situations throughout my 69 years on this planet as I don't have enough fear.
I think the reason people get into a lot of trouble is due to the fact that fear is a very potent experience, that many people fight off. People tend to treat fear as a sickness, and they don't consider that it's there to protect them.

It is a wonder everyone gets up out of bed in the morning.

Because........you never know, you dont know what will hit you.
