The Spirit Heals Fear by Revealing Perfect Love
Scripture teaches that perfect love drives out fear, and this is especially true when it comes to the fear of man.
The Spirit heals this fear by:
– showing us the Father’s smile
– reminding us that we are fully accepted
– revealing that we are never alone
– quieting the inner critic
– softening shame
– strengthening our identity
– restoring a sense of being delighted in
– lifting the pressure to impress
The fear of man cannot survive in the presence of a love that is secure, steady, and unconditional.
Love—not willpower—breaks fear.
