Replacing Fear with Love
We live in a world which breeds fear and anxiety. We fuel our fear by staying plugged into a 24-hour news feed, constantly comparing ourselves to others, and finding our worth through achievements and success.
We are consumed with questions like:
- What if I lose my job?
- What will other people think?
- What if my marriage falls apart?
- How am I going to succeed as an adult?
These anxiety filled questions begin to guide our daily decisions while affecting our relationships with one another. We become a prisoner of our own fear which results in living self-preserving and defensive lives.
As a follower of Jesus, we are being called out of a life of fear and into the deep abundance of his love. We can rest knowing our security lies in the hands of the Father whose perfect love casts out all fear.
When we dwell in his presence, we are surrounded by this perfect love. We are finally home
