Who Knows It Fears Nothing

📝Reflection

This verse tells us what lies on the far side of fear — one who knows the joy of the source does not fear. Fear usually arises from dread of losing, of being shaken. When the ground underfoot is unsteady, everything feels precarious. But one who has, even once, set foot on the unshaken place is different — like a boat that knows firm rock lies beneath though the waves strike. It stands where scripture says perfect love casts out fear, and where the Stoic spoke of the inner citadel. Rather than straining to abolish fear, to plant one unshaken place in the heart — there fear loses its force on its own.
