What would you do if you like many children had no fear?Today's Scripture:
Where God's love is, there is no fear, because God's perfect love drives out fear, so love is not made perfect in the person who fears.
1 John 4:18
Fear can strike at anytime. You might be driving down the highway when a truck suddenly veers into your path. Only a quick reaction and swerve can save you from death and destruction. Whew!! Just a split-second made a difference. How your heart pounds and your pulse races when something like that happens.
Still, other fears can seem bigger, more threatening, and there is no end to them: fear that someone you care about will die, fear that a son or daughter will go wrong, fear that you will lose your job, fear that you'll lose your health, fear that you'll lose your retirement or investments, fear that you will lose your spouse our your best friend or another loved one.
You needn't live a life of fear. Bad things will and always do happen in this world. No one can control bad things, and your problem may not be fixed immediately. But fear - sitting in a room and worrying, fretting over what might happen, living with deep anxiety- can be dealt with. Undoubtedly, the most important verse for a woman who lives with fear is 1 John 4:18. Love drives fear away, and knowing you are loved perfectly means you needn't be afraid of anyone or anything. The God who loves you also rules over everyone else.
God has the power to deal with whatever causes you fear, and you can place your confidence in him.
Selah people' and friends when you know you are loved, and when you respond to others with love, fear disappears. When you know you are loved, God's grace, power, and presence embrace you. You know you are always in God's hands of love.
"Lift up all your cares to God and live with the peace that passeth all understanding."
