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

The Devil Hates Your Rest
The feeling of needing rest is usually a starving spiritual need. Rest isn't a luxury, it's a requirement. The devil thrives in our busyness. When we rest well, we become more like Jesus.

Non-Anxious Presence
Non-anxious presence means staying peaceful when everyone else is losing it. Jesus slept through a storm and fed thousands unbothered. That's the peace worth chasing, the kind that comes from Him.

Be Still and Know
Be still and know that I am God. Even the word Selah in this psalm is a call to pause. Stop trying to figure everything out on your own. He is our refuge and our strength.
