LOVE THAT OVERCOMES FEAR

” THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE. BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, BECAUSE FEAR HAS TO DO WITH PUNISHMENT. THE MAN WHO FEARS IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE.” 1 JOHN 4:18

There is no fear in love. This love talked about is Jesus. When Jesus is present in our lives fear runs away. Fear and Love cannot and co-exist in our lives. If you have fear in your life then Jesus is not present and accounted for. We must trust in him with all that we have. When we truly trust him, then fear is no more. When we trust in the promises of our God in heaven and act upon them, then we cannot fear. Fear is not a part of God. It is the exact opposite of what our Lord stands for. I learned long ago that as soon as fear began to try and overtake my thought process I would begin to say the name of Jesus out loud. I would immediately begin to feel the fear go away. I would then begin to quote scripture that promised me his love, strength and compassion for my life. I fought back and always won. However, when I let down and try to do things on my own then fear, doubt and worry would overcome me and I would usually fail. Stay strong in Jesus. There is great power in his name. We need to use it more often! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
