Fear No Fear

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith which works through love” (Galatians 5:6). God loved us FIRST (1 John 4:19). Jesus loved us enough to be willing to die for us before we were even CREATED (Revelation 13:8). Trust is the glue the keeps the Kingdom together, but it is GOD’s trust and not ours. “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things He may have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:16-18. MEV). But God did not keep it to Himself! He BLESSED us with it. Jesus encouraged us to engage it (Mark 11:22). To seize it and get it working in our lives (Ephesians 3:20-21). When the love of God is flowing through us, our trust comes ALIVE. The POWER flows (Romans 8:11). Not according to OUR will, but HIS will. Not OUR direction, HIS direction. Not OUR point of view, HIS point of view. We have been given the WONDERFUL opportunity to submit to HIM. To put Him in HIS PROPER PLACE and WORSHIP Him for WHO He is, WHAT He is, and the LOVE He has for us. It is SO beautiful. SO powerful. So wonderful. SO peaceful. SO pure. And He has it FOR US. He gave it TO US. He is SO MERCIFUL and SO GRACEFUL and SO LOVING. What a GREAT Father He is!
