1 John 4:18 (NIV)
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives
out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not
made perfect in love.
There are many kinds of fear. Some of these are legitimate.
Others are imagined. Still others are irrational. Thankfully, as Christians, we
don't have to be afraid of the one crucial event in our life — judgment. God's
love saves us, empowers us, blesses us, works in us, and touches others through
us. Most of all, having experienced this love, we can cast fear out of our
hearts because we know where we stand with God. He is our loving Father who
longs to bring us home!
Thought for today:
Can I see and acknowledge God’s love in myself and others?
