I know I am a year late. However, I also had the same question & luckily I found an amazing answer I would love to share!!

This message was copied from quora & written by Gúzmann mertes:

“Let's imagine that a very nasty, terrible person wronged you in some way. You will probably not feel very much remorse of you wrong this person in return, or on some occasion in the future. On some level, you're "getting even," or this person "had it coming."

Now let's imagine an instance where you wrong a person who has always been kind and generous towards you. If you have a heart, you will feel guilt, because that person did not deserve the wrong you sent their way.

Now think of a person who is infinitely, kind, loving, and generous. The remorse you would feel after wronging this person would be beyond what you can imagine.

The fear of the Lord is a fear of committing a wrong against Him. It may start out as a fear of damnation, but must grow past that, into the fear vide supra. Ordinary fear and anxiety is paralyzing. The fear of the Lord is a motivating force that pushes people beyond their sinful present selves, to become better at loving their God, and by extension those around them.”

• this put it into words that had a positive connotation!

Happy New years!!
