I'm so grateful at how the Lord has kept me this year. It has been a year of some great highs and some heartache. Yet, I am amazed at how the Lord has kept my heart and mind. I can say without a doubt that you can have peace that passes all understanding in Christ!
Usually I share my favorite scripture of Jeremiah 29:11, but this year we'll do my runner up scripture:
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
I love this scripture because at one time I struggled with fear. I was afraid to talk to strangers, afraid to go outside of my comfort zone... I was even afraid to utilize my own talents and gifts because of how I thought other people would react.
Yet this scripture reminded me that I have no need to fear. I have the perfect love of Christ on the inside of me. Greater is He that is in me than anything the world could throw my direction!
So when fear would come my way, I'd remind myself that fear could not coexist with God's perfect love. I decided to allow the love of God to take me to my perfect place in Him. Fear is no longer holding me back from moving forward.
Don't let fear hold you back from your destiny! Allow the Lord's perfect love to move you to the place where He wants you to be.
Verse of the Day: 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
