Day 28 in this Month of Love \u2013 Got Fear? Get Love!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It’s quite easy to find FEAR lurking behind every corner. It can smack us in the tummy just after we’ve said, \u201cWhat a great day it is!\u201d Or, right after we\u2019ve prayed. Or right after we\u2019ve celebrated a great victory. Maybe a negative medical report came in, or we\u2019ve lost our cell phone, or our car broke down and there\u2019s not enough in the bank to repair it. I\u2019ve been there. I have been literally worried sick about so many things, including my finances, what people thought about me, and what tomorrow would hold for me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Once upon a time, my husband was my \u201cgo to\u201d guy for those things that seemed to overwhelm me. He did a great job of relieving my insecurities and concerns. He was my rock and pillar of strength. He was a man of many talents and abilities. He could fix just about anything, and if he couldn\u2019t, he sure knew who to go for the help he needed. Yes, God was #1 for me, but right up there pretty close to God, was my husband. So what does a girl do when her very-close-to-God guy checks out of this earth and leaves her with facing life by herself? Oh, sweet relief. I know. God becomes her ALL in ALL! She does what she was supposed to have done long before \u2013 be her #1 for any and everything that concerns her. Now God is my \u201cgo to\u201d Lord and His perfect love has given me all the right reasons to be strong, brave, courageous AND the ability to resist fear. His LOVE is greater than any fear.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1st John 4:18 says that perfect love casts out fear. Maybe Perfect Love should be capitalized, because the only Perfect Love is God’s love. God IS Love. If we\u2019re afraid of facing a person or a situation in our life, God\u2019s love can help us put our fears to rest. That verse points out that we should be conscious of God\u2019s love. It needs to more than just a fact from the Bible to us. We ought to be experiencing it daily.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It would be so easy to run away from it all…..but the one with undaunted faith and determination simply RISES above it all and conquers anything that resembles FEAR — we FACE THAT GIANT — and aim our sling at its ugly head and declare: I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR and I rise above it ALL! After all, my PERFECT One casts out all MY fears. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
