Drive Out Fear

9/19/2016

0 Comments

 
"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." -I John 4:18 (NIV)
Andrew Smith has been quoted as saying, "People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can't conquer."  Fear is often associated with punishments or bad things that may happen unless we can conquer or drive them away.  Unfortunately, fear can cause us to do things out of anxiety or ignorance.  Instead of acting out because we are scared or anxious, we should consider acting out of love!

When we act out of love, we can overcome fear and hatred.  We can forget about punishments in order to share love and redemption.  With God, we don't have to fear punishment as long as we accept His forgiveness.  God's love for us drives away the fear in our lives and allows us to live a full life in Him.  We may be scared, anxious, or even ignorant and not understanding, but we can trust in God and allow Him to help us overcome or drive out each of those feelings through His never-ending love!

Don't live in fear.  Allow God's love to drive it out of your life!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your perfect love.  Help me to trust in You and to follow You in sharing love and forgiveness, instead of fear, punishment, and worry.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
