"We need have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly; his perfect love for us eliminates all dread of what he might do to us. If we are afraid, it is for fear of what he might do to us and shows that we are not fully convinced that he really loves us." (1 John 4:18-19 TLB) Christ extends His love freely to any and all who will accept it. If there were reason to fear, He wouldn't have called us near! What a wonderful model of real love; one we can measure our earthy relationships by as well.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for love us in a way that eliminates our fears. Help love others in a way that eliminates their fears. Amen.
1 John 4:17-18. . . .There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. NIV
