Perfect Love Casts Out Fear of Change
Don’t know about you, but the older I get the more I seem to fear change. The funny thing is, as I said yesterday, it’s usually resting of some false nothing of what this change may be. I remember being a kid and being afraid of going somewhere or doing something and I always wanted my dad with me. It was the comfort of his love that was there that cast out that fear. We see it with little kids starting school back and not wanting to leave the side of their parents. Not wanting to leave the security of the love a parent give and that is received by kids. “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.”1 John 4:18 A great fear for many of us is the fear of change. When this fear hits, focus on what doesn't change: God's love. God's love overcomes fear. Receive His love to the fullest today and be ready to face whatever change is coming your way. Be Nice, Grace Wins

Keeping Him at Bay
68 rounds in, and the fear still shows up. Knowing my life is in God's hands doesn't erase the worry. But perfect love casts out fear, one more time, every time it creeps back in.

Not a Suggestion
God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Courage isn't something you work up on your own, it's your inheritance. Fear was never part of the package.
