You can’t be in love and in fear. It’s an oxymoron. If you
hold on to your fears, you will lose what you love. If you hold on to love, your fears will perish.
It’s kind of funny. Love shows you that your destiny is determined by you. Fear makes you think that it isn’t in your power to change your circumstances.
Is it that simple? Some-times it’s really hard to be-lieve that it actually is. For some reason we complicate our situations and don’t re-ally do much to change them.
Now you might be think-ing, “But my situation is dif-ferent,” or “You don’t know what I’ve been through.” My answer to you is: You’re right. Your situation is dif-ferent and I don’t know what you’ve been through.
However, it doesn’t change the fact that you can’t be in love and in fear, all at the same time. I remember in 1 John 4:18 it says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear…”
The Bible said it. There is no room in love for fear. One or the other will drive your life. And it’s all up to you.
If you want to know how to walk in this “perfect love,” read and apply God’s Word because the Word is God (John 1:1) and God is Love (1 John 4:8).
One day when I was on the phone with a friend of mine Dara Maclean, she explained it perfectly. She said, “Love does not exist apart from God. Anything separate of God will only be a version of it, not the fullness of it.”
I was struck by the sim-plicity of her words. We can change our lives with the aid of love and the absence of
fear. It says in 2 Timothy 1:7,
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” Love enables you to do what you need to do, so that you can fulfill your desires.
While you’re at it, remem-ber to align what you do with Deuteronomy 13:4, “Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone.”
This fear refers to rever-ence and obedience to His Word—in all our actions. In doing this, you will have per-fect love. ∆
