!! NO FEAR !!

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."

Lewis L. Dunnington

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; Because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18

Are you gripped with fear about something? There is hope! Love is the answer to overcoming your fear because love is the Christian's security blanket.

My wife and I have been blessed with the love of a new born baby boy. He is such a bundle of love that I cannot find words to express my feelings. I have spent the last few days watching, holding, cuddling, crying and praising God over him. I have watched my son from the day he was born be comforted by our love and his blanket. When he is swaddled in his blanket, he is in such comfort, his body is limp, and oh what a peaceful sleep he has. He appears to have NO FEAR This blanket reminds me of the before mentioned verse " Perfect love casteth out fear."

God's love can eliminate all dread. It is not our love for Him, but His love for us that will cast out our fears. The question isn't: Am I brave enough? The question is: Do I trust His love enough?

Read, study; not so much word for word, but word for meaning verses in 2 Timothy 1:7-9
Answer the questions above. I would love to hear your comments.
