People who are fearful often feel helpless, or resentful. Even angry. Which leads to rebellion. This fear driven method of leadership is common in society today and often used by marketing campaigns and companies to get people to purchase their products or services (fear of missing out).
The fruit of the Spirit is Love Joy Peace Long suffering gentleness faith meekness and temperance. The Lord leads His people and mentors us, and exalts us and leads us to his fullness. Our Father in Heavens' love for us surpasses by far our ability to comprehend. The Lord wants to change our hearts. He wants us to confront our fears and bravely step forward and upwards along the straight and narrow path, because He loves us. This is the way to happiness.
God sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to show us the right way. God is on our side. He loves us and when we stumble he wants us to rise up, try again, and move forward. He desires to stimulate us with faith. This is the better way.
God doesn't want His children to be fearful. He's given us an abundance of reason to rejoice; we just need to find and recognize them. The Lord often recommends to 'be not afraid'. We prepare ourselves and the world to receive Jesus upon His return. We are in charged with studying the word of God for ourselves and gaining a testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As his covenant people, we need not be paralyzed by fear because bad things might happen. We can move forward with faith, courage and confidence trusting in God. We do not walk the path alone. He will not fail thee or forsake the. The Lord will fight for you and you will hold your faith.
"All things shall workout for your good, if you walk uprightly". The Lord is with us.
Christ perfect love allows us to walk with humility dignity and a bold confidence as followers of our beloved savior. Christ perfect love gives us the confidence to press through our fears and place our complete trust in the power and goodness in our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. Let us replace fear with Christ perfect love.
Loving God and our fellow man will turn following the commandments into a blessing, rather than a burden. As we fill our hearts with the love of Christ we will awaken with a renewed spiritual freshness and we wake joyfully, awake and alive in the Glory of our Savior Jesus Christ. There is no fear in Christ love. God Know you perfectly and he wants you to be not afraid, only believe and abide in his perfect love.
