TODAY’S VERSE
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.
I John 4:18 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Fear comes in many forms. Anxiety, panic, and obsessions, but one that often surprises us is worry. Somehow we feel worry is justified. We believe we can extinguish our fears with control, perfection, and the drive to make everything safe. However, worry is based on fear and, so often, the fear of things that will never happen. We never really conquer our anxiety. That is why we need love. Love in the form of acceptance, security, purpose, and protection conquers our need for control. Given unconditionally, love can take fear and obliterate it. This is the love God offers you. His love is pure. It is unfailing, everlasting and unconditional. Come to God today, receive His love and let your fear be driven away.
TODAY’S PRAYER

AMEN
