#3666 – Kindness & Fear

Good morning people who step towards and want to be around our kind God

1 Corinthians 13:4 NIV LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Fear is an enemy that has gripped and plagued many people for far too long.

But as I sit here meditating on truth, I feel Father is saying that a revelation of His kindness is an antidote to fear.

This is what the apostle of LOVE John said:

1 John 4:18 NIV 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.    

God is not soft on sin, but He is big on us!

In a similar way to ‘God’s kindness leads us to repentance’ (Romans 2:4), His kindness also drives out fear of punishment.

“Why?”

“How?”

Because Jesus has paid the price in full!

“It is finished!” really does mean “It is finished!”

For those who have confessed your sins and received God’s mercy and grace, I feel today, God would say, “It’s OK. You can step towards me. I LOVE you!”

This is kindness: this is God; this is LOVE!
