Perfect love drives out fear


"There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love."  (1 John 4: 18)

Perfect awareness of God's constant and unconditional love for us means living in the full knowledge of His loving and powerful providence.  This providence is fully at work for us every moment and every step of our life's journey.

If you fear that God will abandon you with regard to family, health, finances, job, tools, food or future, it means that your understanding of His love for you is deficient.  Our spiritual journey is to take us from the place of fear, worry and doubts to the glorious freedom of fullness of charity.
