2 Timothy 1:7
"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
I heard once that fear is the master spirit that Satan uses to control us. Everything about Halloween is about fear; the haunted houses, the scary decorations, the horror movies, etc.
Why would you want to live in fear? I have seen what fear can do to a person. It can completely destroy your life. If you live in fear, you will go crazy. Your mind can be lost. That is possible. Fear is the pathway to you losing your mind. It is best to stay as far away from feeling fear as you can. Stay in your happy place. Stay at peace.
Fear can be entertaining for sure. It may seem better than being bored. But no, it's not. It's better to be bored than to feel afraid all the time.
When you feel fear, you have no power. You are weakened by fear. Why would you want to feel weak? I hate being weak.
Also when you feel fear, you cannot be loving. You are afraid of everyone and everything. Shake off any fear you feel and be courageous. The Bible says, "Be strong and courageous for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Forget about loving fear. It is for sure not a thing to love. Love being strong instead. That is far better.
