How to elbow FEAR out of the way!

“There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].” 1 John 4:18, The Bible (Amplified Version)

The thought of fear or the thought of failure hinders us from achieving our dreams.

We would rather talk ourselves out of what we really want while secretly bursting at the seams.

We wrestle with “what ifs” deep down inside and we pretend that all is well.

We really want to swap our lives for a piece of heaven rather than experiencing hell. 

This scripture reminds us that we can push fear out of the way if we use love.

Love for God, love for ourselves, others and our dreams can help us reach the stars above.

Being grounded in God’s love means that we can stop being afraid of who we can be.

God wants us to live our dreams as the awesome people that we are – fearless and free!
