MORNING MANNA 1-22-26
LOVE OVER FEAR!
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men…
“For the love of Christ constraineth us… 2 Corinthians 5:11,14
The teenagers of the Church and I spent a few years on visitation in a neighborhood close by on Wednesday evenings before Bible study. We met a lot of people and had a lot of pleasant experiences on front porches.
One man named Don greeted us, but quickly became irritated when we shared the good news of Jesus with him. The witnessing attempt ended by Don chasing us out of his yard yelling out threats.
How did we respond? We proceeded to the next house, knocked on the door, and shared Jesus. How were we able to do it now that the temptation of fear had come into the picture? The answer is love. God placed a love in our hearts for unsaved people. That love was more influencing than the fear of being rejected.
Perfect love casteth out fear!
May love overcome fear as you have opportunity to share the love of Jesus with someone today!
