Fear and love are on opposite sides. Which side are you on?

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.’  I John 4:18 (NIV)

Are you struggling with fear and anxiety?

You are not alone; fear is one of the biggest hurdles that keeps most people from fulfilling their destiny.

Fear is a spirit that is not from God, but comes from the enemy.

 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, NIV.

God’s Spirit gives you the ability and power to love others and yourself, and also the power to be of a sound mind. The spirit of fear does the exact opposite.  It shifts your focus away from God, takes away all your power and ability to love, and makes you of unsound mind.

The secret of overcoming fear? Draw close to God and put your trust in Him alone.
