There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love].
1 John 4:18
Most people in this world do not understand who God is. They have a misconception because of how they were raised, what they’ve gone through, current circumstances and the list goes on. However, many have a misconception because of “Christians” they have come in contact with.
We need to be different, we should be different. We should not look like the rest of the world. It’s time to show those we come across God’s love for them. Always be ready to say a word from Jesus for them, give a smile, no matter where you are. Be spirit-minded every moment, and do not fear the ordained meeting that Jesus has orchestrated. It does not matter what it looks like, or what anyone around you thinks. It’s most important what Jesus thinks and what he’s asked of you.
Step outside of yourself and into who Jesus has called you to be. You are so much more than you think of yourself, and yet there is so much more to who you are becoming. Step outside of fear and into the faith that will move mountains.
