Life Lines
By Linda Lariscey
ROOTED IN LOVE OR FEAR?
That you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the scants
what is the width and length and depth and
height— 19 to know the love of Christ which
passes knowledge
(Ephesians 3:17-19NKJV).
There is not fear in love; but perfect love casts
out fear (Uohn 4:18).
Is faith the opposite of fear? Or is love the reverse of fear?
Indeed, without faith, we cannot please God. Faith is the victory that
overcomes the world. Through it, we surrender our lives to Christ and
learn to trust Him daily. And yet faith can only operate through love.
If we do not have love and yet have the faith to move mountains, we
are nothing. (1 Cor. 13:2).
God is love. The devil is the spirit of fear. Everything God does is
from a place of love. He judges and brings justice from love, not from
hate. On the other hand, Satan is fear, and when He attacks saints,
his objective is to immobilize and torment them. If we root ourselves
in the love of Christ, our faith and trust in Him will lead us in our daily
decisions of life. Every choice we make based on fear is one of the
flesh, not of the Spirit. It may look good on the surface, but the root
is fear, “they won’t love me unless” or “what will people think of me,”
or I hate having to do this, but if I don’t, I may not get my promotion.”
All acts of self-preservation flourish in the soil of fear.
Perfect love casts out fear. Once your inner self becomes full of
the love of God, fear loses its place in you. When you act out of love,
the Spirit is leading you. Thinking of others and their perspective
rather than your own helps you understand people and have more
compassion for them. I am not referring to being a doormat for anyone
but a person who looks beyond people’s faults to see their needs. We
must also love ourselves and not become victims of people’s rude
and dishonest behavior.
Yes, faith is essential but, love is more excellent. When you meditate
on the love of God and begin to confess His loyal love for you, fear
diminishes. Amid trouble, your thoughts and feelings change as you
worship God and see things from a higher place. We don’t like to
acknowledge our fears, but we all have them. Even Apostle Paul spoke
of his inner fears and anxieties. But like Paul, as we root ourselves
in Jesus’ love, the outward things of life will minimize as our inward
life explodes with joy.
