Perfect love casts out fear

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
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
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
Romans 8:15

Your thinking has to change. Your love for my children must be stronger than your desire for their love. I will fill you up and then you will give to them. When you are empty, come back to me. Don’t let their opinions crush you. Ask me. I will tell you if you need correction. Don’t get caught in someone else’s filter of the world. Perfect love casts out fear. You need my perfect love and you will walk in confidence. Forget the small talk. I have a powerful message for you to share. Forget your old idea of friendship. I will give you warriors. Forget your need to be loved. I will give you a full tank. Be still before me every day and then do the things that you know to do.
