"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." -I John 4:18 (ESV)
I recently transitioned from teaching middle school to teaching high school, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. The decision was difficult as I was comfortable with the content that I was teaching and the routines that had been part of my life for over ten years. New experiences can be scary. We can fear the unknown, but meeting people that are kind and helpful, people that show love, can remind assist us in overcoming our fear!
God shows us love and He shows us that love can overcome fear. Whenever we consider our future, one thing we do not have to fear is leaving God behind. God's love is with us no matter where we are in our lives, no matter what we are facing, and no matter what new experiences we are embracing. God can place people in our lives that remind us of His love through their kindness and helpfulness, in turn, we can be people that also show God's love to others. We can help others cast out fears by showing God's love to those around us!
Turn to God and share His love to overcome your fear and to help others cast out their fears!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your perfect love. Help me to know Your love and to share Your love in order to cast out fear. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
