Perfect love casteth out fear

I have discovered that I fear many more things than I realized.  When I initially hear the word Fear, I am thinking snakes, spiders, villans from scary stories, (I am not even going to begin the spiritual side of fears). These things are scary,  don't get me wrong, and yet I have found other fears, even greater in their life impact. Mental games scare me. When people use the human emotions like toys most definitely scares me.
I am so thankful that the only perfect love is from Jesus and that when We have him as our Savior,  His love becomes a part of us.
Perfect love casteth out fear.
All.fear.
Jesus enables us to show His love and He casts out our fears.
Thank God.
I have had family say the words "I love you" and those family members had strings attached. It is like they should have said "I love you if... " or "I love you unless..."
Jesus has the only love without strings.
He shares His love with His followers. I have found that people who follow Him freely share their love with others...the love Jesus shared with them.
I am amazed at the way the stories of our lives unfold. My life is unfolding like a flower quickly fading, and as long as I keep Him first, the final ending of my story will be great.
It is so very precious that Jesus takes the time to be mindful of me. My wants. My hearts desires. When I realize He has fulfilled a desire of my heart, and covered my pain with His perfect love, and in His perfect way, it astonishes me.
I can see His handiwork in my life as I travel the avenues of my memory.  I can see His handiwork in my daily life.
I can never Thank Him enough. 
So if you are a part of my life, I count you as a very specific blessing, a very intricate gift, from Jesus and for you I am thankful.
No matter how many seconds or how many years We have known each other, I know God has given us each other as a part of His precious plan for our lives. He used you to cast out some of my fears. Thanks(:
