There is no fear in love,
but perfect love kills all fear.
1 John 4:18
The urge to choose the ones we love based upon reputation and the "norm" is upon almost every human I've met. This scripture tells us not to be afraid to love those who we truly do. Love is not meant to be frightening, intimidating, or challenging. It is meant to be an amazing experience brought on by 2 souls destined to be together. If fear plays a factor, there can be no perfect love.

The scripture, of course, refers to the love of Christ, but it all still applies to human love.
