I ended my last post, CEO Pay, with 1 John 4:18.
Since then, I have not been able to get John’s words out of my head.
As confident as I try to appear to be and as comfortable as I act in my own skin, I sometimes deal with insecurity. In those instances, I question if I am good enough, smart enough or likable enough? Sometimes I even ask myself if I am a complete fake and wonder if eventually this masquerade that I call my life is going to come crashing down allowing everyone & anyone to see the total fraud that I am.
I must remind myself of Jesus’ love when I start asking these life defeating questions. I must remember that I am not perfect. I must remember that I am a sinner. I must remember that as good as I try to be, all my “good“ works are but filthy rags to God. I must remember that I made perfect through love and that the embodiment of love is Jesus.
As 1 John 4 reminds all of us, we are made perfect in love. When I start to destroy myself mentally, emotionally, physically & spiritually, I must remember John’s word’s, “…love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear.“
If I have accepted Jesus’ love and I allow His love to operate in me whom then shall I fear?
