Many of our actions and patterns of living are determined by fear of disapproval, fear of loss, fear of bodily harm, or fear of aloneness. These often exercise a controlling influence over our lives.
Fear is a mental state of darkness denoting an absence of the quality of love. It is a particularly dangerous state, for the things we greatly and persistently fear eventually become our experience. The good news is that our life does not need to be dominated by fear and its negative results.
God has given you power over negative thoughts. You can cast out fear from your life by taking on love. Love releases us from the bondage to fear, and frees us to experience a real awareness of the absolute goodness of God.
