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

Fear comes in many forms. Some of these things are true. Some are made up. Still others don’t make sense. As Christians, we don’t have to worry about judgment, which is the most important thing that will happen to us. God’s love saves us, gives us strength, gives us blessings, works in us, and touches other people through us. Most importantly, having experienced this love, we know where we stand with God and can let go of fear. He is our loving Father who wants to bring us home.

Prayer

God, you are holy, mighty, and awesome. Your strength is great. You are holy beyond comparison. When you deal with your people, you are good and fair. Most of all, I thank you, dear Father, because you don’t treat me like my sins deserve. No, O God, you treat me with kindness and bless me with your grace that saves and changes me. Your love gives me the courage to live for you and to look forward to the day when I will stand in front of you. Until then, I want to thank and praise you. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
