Fear No Fear

“We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, MEV). We are empowered through Holy Spirit by the knowledge of the love of Jesus that operates within our hearts (Ephesians 3:20-21). Everything starts and ends with the LOVE OF GOD. He created and blessed Adam in LOVE. Jesus chose to die for us before anything was created in LOVE. The Father was willing to send Jesus in LOVE. The judgment for Sin came down on Jesus and He paid the FULL price in LOVE. The covenant Jesus and the Father cut between themselves was opened to us in LOVE. We can engage it because WE love HIM. We can walk in it because WE love HIM. We can function in this world exactly like Jesus because WE love HIM. It is ALL about God’s LOVE. The most powerful thing on this whole planet is the LOVE of God. We get so bent out of shape about the restrictions that are in place to protect us. We get so bent out of shape about our ideas versus His ideas. We get twisted up and balk under His yoke ONLY because we do NOT understand His LOVE. If we did, we would NOT balk. We would be HAPPY to be corrected. We would be HAPPY to be directed by Him. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30, MEV). There is REST in His love. There is GUIDANCE in His love. There is TEACHING in His love. There is BLESSING in His love. There is EVERYTHING WE NEED in His love. Thank GOD He loves us so much! He REALLY does! He is a GOOD God!
