What Are You Afraid Of, friend?

Publication date Aug 22, 2023

Are you facing an important decision? Do you wish you didn't have to make it yourself, that someone else would make it for you?

You can get help with that!

As always, the Word of God wants to help you address these very current issues of your life, to approach them fearlessly. 

The Bible says: "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.” (1 John 4:18 NIV)

Okay, now you may be thinking, "Great, this big decision I'm facing has to do with my job, for example. There is little love there. I'm not going to be able to drive my problem away with love, because the people there have little love for me." 

I understand, friend. I know...

That's why it always makes sense to also read the lines before and after such a verse. Verse 16 says: "...God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." (1 John 4:16 NIV

And in the following verse: “We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 NIV

God is love. When this love—God—fills you completely, HE casts out the fear you may be experiencing. That means that HE—Love—changes YOU FROM WITHIN by driving out the fear within you, thereby giving you the strength to face the day and the challenges that lie ahead.

You just have to go to him…and he will go with you!

It's that easy, friend! I wish for you to experience today how His love casts out your fear, and through that, shows you once again His WONDERFUL possibilities in your challenges!

You are a miracle!
