“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” -John 4:18
Seth Godin has this to say in his excellent book, Linchpin:
“We check Twitter because of our fear of being left out. We buy expensive handbags for the same reason.”
Is a full understanding of the love and acceptance of God the true cure for materialism?
Is it the cure for social media addiction? For the often compulsive desire to groom and manicure our online image?
One thing is for sure, love and fear are mortal enemies. You will never truly love people with a perfect love when you are afraid. Time to let go of your fear of being left out by Twitter, or Facebook, or God.
Live in His perfect love. Now go love with His perfect love.
