The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.

ON FEAR AND HOPE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When evil people fear, it materializes
To constantly live in fear usually immobilizes
The hopes of the godly will be realized
When one focuses on the good, they can visualize.
Love casts away all kinds of fear
Walking in love makes fear disappear
Hope is believing when you don’t see
It is an expectation of what will be soon real.

Most fear is a result of a traumatic experience either consciously or sub-consciously. The bible tells us in 1 John 4:18 that there is no fear in love. Love and fear cannot co-exist. When you fear, you are not living in love. Many people think that the opposite of love is hate, but it is actually fear. The antidote to fear is to love and to focus on the promises of God, so hope can bloom.
The bible says that the fears of the wicked are fulfilled but the hopes of the godly will be granted. The righteous people are given protection against fear. Even in times of fear, they still choose to believe and hope that God does everything for the good of those how love him. They cling to the promises even if they don’t see it yet.
