…I can run away and hide. I can be bold and brave. I can get reinforcements. Or I can trust in you, God. My fears are quick to drill into my heart and mind. But you are always aware of what I am afraid of. I have seen what you are capable of. My fears can’t overcome you. I know that perfect love drives out fear. 1John 4:18 Your Love is perfect and it can root out and destroy fear. Fear is not the ruler of my life. It cannot be because love and fear are incompatible. They cannot co-exist in me. You have never desired for me be driven solely out of fear of you. Fear is respect and you deserve all respect. Proverbs 9:10. But fear can’t sustain me. It can’t compel me to love you and live for you. Your unfailing love is the driving force behind our relationship. I am assured in your love for me and I depend on that truth to sustain me when fears surround me. They cannot overtake me, since your love will not allow it. So, when I am afraid…I will believe, trust, depend, rely, on you because of your True Love. Unlike my fears, it is always real.
I like your writing. By the way, FEAR is a demonic spirit.

I would have to agree that fear is not of God. I don’t doubt that Satan uses it to separate us from God. Thank you for reading and commenting. God bless your heart!!!
