I am Penney Douglas. I have been Changed By Love.
I am still in the process of being Changed By Love.
What does it mean to be Changed By Love?
One way to be Changed By Love is to overcome fear.
I started out with lots of fear: Fear of man, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of embarrassment, fear of making a fool of myself, fear of not measuring up, being insignificant, not being good enough, etc.
Can you relate to any of these fears? Maybe you have been plagued by other fears than these, but nonetheless, most of us start out with certain fears that we struggle to get over throughout our lifetimes.
But we need to do what it takes to overcome all types of fear.
Why try so hard to conquer fear in our lives?
Because there is no fear in love.
And perfect love casts out fear.
It’s not God’s will that we live in fear.
Fear is the enemy’s will for our lives.
Fear is faith in the enemy’s power over us.
God wants us to put our faith in His power over the enemy.
So who do you trust – God or the enemy?
God is love. Perfect love casts out fear.
So trust in God, and cast out fear.
The new person that you become – the new mindset you will carry – will be based on Love.
This is one way that Love changes us.
There are more ways.
Stay tuned.
There is more to come!
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
