Good morning. We know we are safe in God's hands because: there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We may fear things that might happen to us, but we should not fear God. As the commercial says, we are in good hands. We have to be careful to not let fear of things that might happen turn into fear of what God will do to us. God only wants the best for us. When you are afraid, that is real punishment. We love, because He first loved us. Outside of Him, there is no true love. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. It was not a suggestion when Jesus said to love one another. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also. Just because you love the brethren, does not mean that you accept everything they do. We love our children, but we did not accept everything that they did when they were little. Remember that God's perfect love casts out fear! Father thank You that the reader does not fear but walks in love. Because You love him/her, You only want the best for him/her, and Your love casts out fear.
