How Can We Allay Their Fears?

Because it is fear that drives violence and force anything that triggers people's fears will result in trouble.

So how can we allay their fears?

It says in the scriptures that perfect love casts out fear. (1 John 4:18)

So how can we practise perfect love?

Love will not retaliate.

Love will not avenge.

Love will not show anger.

Love will not condemn.

Love will forgive.

Love will show mercy.

Love will persevere.

Love will reassure.

Love will make amends.

Love will give another chance.

Love will not forget you.

Love is inclusive.

Love is even-handed.

Love is tolerant.

Love is unconditional.

If we can develop these aspects of love then perhaps we can allay some of the fears in the world.
