No Fear

Wouldn't it be great to go through life with NO FEAR?? That's what God wants for us. His word says, "For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind." It also says, "Perfect love casts out all fear." When we truly trust Him, we know that He 'has our back' at all times. We need not be afraid.

This is not to be confused with the (reverent) fear of God. His word says, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." This means that we are to treat God, our Father, with respect. We will obey him out of respect and it will grow to obeying Him out of love. It is similar with your earthly dad. When you're a child, you obeyed him often because you were afraid of the punishment. Later, as you matured, you obeyed your dad because you loved him and didn't want to disappoint him. It is so cool that God is our real Father, and that He created earthly families for us to understand that kind of love.

Did you know worrying is actually a sin if you're a Christian? Sin means 'missing the mark, the goal, God's goal' for you. He says, "Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything." When you worry, you're not trusting Him. You're having fear. So, put it in His hands. He's the creator of the world, the master of the universe.

"With God, NOTHING is impossible."
