For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. Psalm 34:4 (ESV) I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT) For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline. Philippians 4:6 (NLT) : Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. What are the girls currently loving?
