Perfect Love Casts out FEAR!

I'm using my bro's laptop now cos mine is low batt and I didn't bring my charger home. I was supposed to do my lesson plans but I decided to do that tomorrow when I go to school instead.. or perhaps later tonight (if I managed to keep myself awake).

Well, I wanna thank Deb for coming to my house to prevent me from falling asleep so that I could finish marking my HUGE stack of ENGLISH Activity Books. Praise the LORD! I'd finished and I'm here to blog. This might be my only entry for the week because I'll be real busy this week.

I had a meeting on Sat and realised there are so many things that I need to do and plan for the coming days. There's a CCA day coming up whereby we need to showcase our CCA to the P2 kids and their parents. Something new this yr, so lots of planning to be done. There's also a WALK & JOG coming up. This is also something new for this yr and I'm in charge of one part of the entire event. There are lots of new implementations as well. I think it's gonna be an even challenging yr next yr as I believe more things will be thrown under my charge. I pray for God's grace and wisdom to be upon me every single day of my life.

So, I'll be busy planning my work and finishing whatever that I need to finish. Finally gonna resume BS on Wed!! And also BV prac on Sun!! Yeah! Though I'll have lesser time for myself, but I think I need the BS and the BV prac to make my time more fruitful. Many times going for BS and BV prac actually strengthens me. Though sometimes I may drag my feet there because I'm physically tired, but after all it's all worth it because God moves through BS and even in prac!

By the way, I was worshiping in service today when I heard God spoke to me, "Perfect love casts out fear." Tears began to roll down my cheeks as I heard those words. I realised I've not perfected that love for God all along. If I had loved Him so much, I would not have feared when I faced my lack in life. To me, love for someone will cause a person to do whatever he/she can to make the person that he/she loves happy. Love will cause a person to go the extra mile. Love will cause a person to say, "No matter what happens, it is enough just to have You." This is a season that I need to put my total trust in Him and really love Him more than I love myself or anybody. There must be a conviction that it is good enough just to have Him alone. Nothing else really matters. I need to go the extra mile for Him and obey His call.

--1 John 4:18--
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

I thank God for sending His angels (u may be the angel I'm talking about)to bless me every single day of my life to keep showing me His faithfulness. God is never late. He is always on time. His Word always comes at the right time to encourage and lift us up. As I was looking through 1 John 4:18, the Holy Spirit reminded me that God is love. If I replace the word "love" with "God", it'll be:

"There is no fear in God, but perfect God casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in God."

Wow! What a revelation to me! Thank for this revelation. Thank God for His love.
