There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:18-19 NAS

Did you know that our heavenly Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus?

I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John 17:23 NLT

Making a firm decision to focus on, and be established in God's promises and eternal love in our minds and thoughts, is the answer that casts out all doubt, worry, and fear. 

In this world, we will have trials and tribulations, but we must remember, Jesus has overcome the world and we are in Him. We have His very own righteousness and peace. When we choose to reject fear and anything that tries to trouble our hearts, we can walk boldly in His peace. 

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27 NASB

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Isa 41:10 NASB

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." Deut 31:6 ESV

For God gave us a Spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Tim 1:7 ESV

Make a firm decision today! Let's agree to take our eyes off the problem and focus entirely on our Father's love that casts out all fear.
