With God there is no fear

I went for a recent novena service at the St Mary's Cathedral and Father shared this message with us. He said that we should do all things with love, for God is love and with God, there is no fear.

Many a time, I am crippled with fear in certain aspects of my life. I'm sure you would have those instances as well. The fear is very real and there are times when I feel so trapped and overcome by fear that my immediate reaction is to run away from the situation. It seems that whenever I encounter fear in my life, I fail to include love. I would need to make a conscious effort to do all things with love, and things just turn out well. Fear becomes a distant memory.

I know that God is at work and I pray that as I journey through life and all that it may throw at me, I will remember to have love always. Fear is such a powerful force that might enable us to get things done, but love is the powerful motivating force we need to get things done right.

May love be in our hearts always to lead and direct our lives.
