Love > Fear

There are generally many healthy (walking on a freeway, standing
on a train track, walking to close to a cliff, etc.), but only
one fear will lead you to life: fear of God.


We face numerous fears that can cause us to shrink back. Some can
lead to sleepless nights, unhealthy thoughts, and flesh
maintenance.


We often predict the worse possible outcome even though we don’t
know the outcome.


A clever acronym to remember: False Evidence Appearing Real
(FEAR).


A healthy fear of God leads us to knowledge, understating, and
humility.


Fear of circumstances can bring unwarranted anxiety.


Fear of man can cause us to compromise, lose confidence, and it
can keep us from our calling.


When the spirit of fear strikes, it always rooted in unbelief.


Remembering His perfect love and our eternal destiny can get us
through every fear.
