The believer’s blanket!

The believer’s blanket!

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”1 John 4:18.

Are you gripped with fear about something?

Love is the answer to overcoming your fear!

Because love is the Christian’s security blanket.

When you were a child-

– did you have a teddy bear or a blanket that gave you a sense of security

– something you wanted to hold close to you and get wrapped up in?

The Holy Spirit of God is-

The believer’s blanket!

– the believer’s warm, loving security blanket!

I read the verse, “Perfect love casts out fear!”

But it never rang true to me because I had never done anything perfectly except sin.

Then, I read the translation in the Living Bible, which says:

“We have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly.”

God’s perfect love can eliminate all dread.

It is not our love for Him-

– but His perfect love for us that will cast out our fears.

The question isn’t:

Am I brave enough?

The question is:

Do I trust His love enough?

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.
