"The fear of reverence and of awe is pleasing to God. It is a tender fear; and the more we have of it, the less is it fear, because of the sweetness of the love that causes it. This fear and love are brothers. And therefore sure am I that he who loves fears, yet is not afraid. All other fear, though it may wear the garment of holiness, is a dangerous fear. Thus may we discern the good fear and the evil fear. The good fear makes us fly from all that is evil in the eyes of God, to cast ourselves into His arms, as a child will fly to his mother. With all our soul and all our desire shall we fly to Him, knowing our weakness and our great need, and knowing also His eternal tenderness and His blessed love, in Him alone seeking deliverance, cleaving to Him alone."-From the MS. of a Christian before the Reformation.
