You are developing a topic that has interested me too. For the sake of discussion -- Could it me that fear of God could mean "awe" rather than "fear" as we normally use the world? We are struck by "awe" rather than "frightened". In other words, our "awe" in the face of the greatness of God brings us to our knees and causes us to reconsider our relationship to the Almighty.

Archived_member2 makes an excellent point - love that is colored by fear is not truly love. But one can be in awe of the One whom we love.
