DAY 272 OF 365

Love Casts Out Fear

Christianity gave love (Greek agape) a new meaning. This word rarely occurs in existing non-biblical Greek manuscripts of the period. Agape denotes an undefeatable benevolence and unconquerable goodwill that always seeks the highest good of the other person, no matter what he does. It is the selfless love that gives freely, without asking anything in return, and does not consider the worth of its object. Agape is a love by choice, and it refers to the will to love rather than the emotion of love. Agape describes the unconditional love God has for the world.

His love for the world and toward each of us is complete. Fear grips our souls because we are more convinced of the triumph of circumstance and sin over us than the undefeatable unconquerable love that securely holds us. We are His and He finds us precious.

Today He will keep us, love us, and if we will hold tightly to Him, He will drive our fears far from us.
