“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. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
– 1 John 4:18-20

God’s perfect love casts out fear. When we truly grasp how much He loves us through Jesus Christ, we no longer need to fear rejection, judgment, or abandonment. His love brings us confidence and peace. These verses also remind us that our love for God should be shown in how we treat others. It’s easy to say we love God, whom we cannot see, but He calls us to love the people He places in our lives each day. Forgiveness, kindness, and compassion show that His love is alive in our hearts.
Dear Heavenly Father God, thank You and praise You for loving me with a perfect and unfailing love. Help me trust Your love when fear tries to take hold of my heart. Teach me to love others as You have loved me, showing grace, kindness, and forgiveness. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in The Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Amen.
