There is no fear in love

I'm in awe of how God has everything in control. He has shown me over and over again of his power and grace and mercy and love. He has a plan for my life, and that is amazing to me. The God of the whole Universe would care to know me.
I John 4:
Verse4: "Ye are of God , little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world"
...... just think about it. Almighty God is on your side. and He is greater than the world.
Verse 10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God , but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
...... never let it be common to you that Jesus Christ, who knew know sin, died for our sin.
Verse 18: "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."
...... When I fear about grades, and cars, work, and relationships, I'm forgetting who God is and what he has done for me. I'm forgetting the power of his love. When I trust in Jesus, all my cares get carried away. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that so powerful?

  1. Its so true. I too have been learning to relax and trust in God for the exact same things. It's scary coming to the point in your life where you take on full responsibility of taking care of your self, bills, food, house, care, ect.
    Love you so much dear Amber! Thanks for sharing :)

  2. So simple, so beautiful. I love 1 John 4:4 - the idea that something in me is greater than everything else around me is so comforting.
