What If I'm Afraid to Love?

Sep 222009

Love, they say, is the complete opposite of fear. That thought worries me at times, because I cannot say that I'm that brave enough already to love. There are certain fears that still reside in my heart. But then again, when true love comes, it will certainly come as a mighty river, casting away all fears, making its way straight unto my heart! What is there to worry about when perfect love casts away all fears? :-)
