1 John 4:18 New International Version (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.
Do you remember what Jesus said when he came walking on the
water to his disciples during the storm? He literally told them, "Do not
fear, I Am." In the presence of the holy and awesome Son of God, we don't
have to be afraid. God's grace to us in Jesus takes away our need for fear
because Jesus' sacrifice makes us holy, without fault, and free from any charge
against us (Colossians 1:21-22). Our response? Love! We love our Father for who
he is, for what he has done, for his great sacrifice for us, and most of all,
for making us holy and taking away our fear.
Thought for today:
In what areas of my life do I allow fear to limit my power?
