fearless

So yes, I do take random pictures of cute little kids during church in Costa Rica. He was just so cute and went up front during worship and was dancing. He was so fearless and didn't care what anyone thought, like most kids are. And I am so jealous that they are so fearless. They don't care about what other people think if they go up front to worship, if they yell, if they cry, what they wear, etc. Yes, there brain isn't fully developed and they don't know the world like we do- nonetheless, they are fearless, how God created us to be. 1 John 4:18 says that in perfect love there is no fear. No fear of sin, other people and their opinions, no fear of anything in this world! So why can't we be like that? I mean we love God- right? Or do we just say we do? Because if the bible says that love casts out fear and we say we love God... we should be fearless right? Personally, at the beginning of this week I had to really think about this. Did I actually love God with all my heart and soul? And the answer was totally no, but looking at all he did and still does for us I can say yes without a doubt! Just look at your life- the things he's given us, all he has provided, and the fact that he sent Jesus to take away all our sins! Without him we wouldn't exist- so why not love him and be fearless?
