The God who hates anything that opposes His love is fearless and not indifferent or passive in the patient but fierce removal of all His enemies who refuse to repent or move aside. Fear is the great enemy of love. Fear of what might happen if we risk loving others. Fear of what they might do to us or take from us. Fear of being exposed. Fear of losing friends and influence. Fear makes us indifferent, uncaring and passive in the face of evil. The picture of the love of the mature Bride in Song of Solomon 7, one whose heart has been fully conquered by the love of Jesus, is a picture of fearlessness. She is not fearless regarding believing in her dreams. She is not fearless regarding believing in herself. She is fearless when faced with everything Jesus is passionate about and gave His life for. Having come to the other side of profound growth and testing, she has decided that she wants to lay her life down as well.
