In a world filled with uncertainty and broken trust, it is understandable that we may approach relationships and even our relationship with God with a sense of caution. Fear can cause us to build walls around our hearts. However, we are called to take a different approach when it comes to God’s love. Don’t be afraid of love.
Daily Devotional for July 6
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:18)
Don’t be Afraid of Love
God’s love is unlike any other love. It is pure, unconditional, and transformative. It has the power to heal wounds, mend brokenness, and bring restoration to our lives. Yet, to experience God’s love, we must first let go of our fears and open our hearts to receive them.
The Bible assures us that God’s love is trustworthy and faithful. In 1 John 4:18, we are reminded that “perfect love casts out fear.” Through God’s perfect love, we can find the courage to overcome our fears and embrace love.
Let His Love Transform Your Heart
When we accept God, we allow His love to transform our hearts and renew our minds. It empowers us to love others with selfless and compassionate love. It strengthens us to forgive, show kindness, and extend grace. By embracing God’s love, we become vessels of His love, shining His light in a world that desperately needs it.
