“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).
It is impossible for love and
fear to exist beside each other. It is one or the other. Evil may come against
me, but love is the powerful force which defeats it.
There is a human love which can be tormented by fear, but there is a perfect love which conquers fear and trusts in God's faithfulness to overcome all that I face.
The only way to obtain this perfect love that conquers fear is to have Christ in my heart. If His love is growing in me, I learn more of His perfect love and its ability to conquer my fears. I can only banish my fears with His presence and His power.
I will pray to Him, and I will seek Him. I will share His love, and dwell on Him instead of my fears. His perfect love and power will rise in my heart until no fear can claim my mind. I will remain strong in His perfect love. One day I will realize that my fear is gone. His perfect love has driven out that which has the power to destroy my life. I have found His peace in the protection of His love.
