We fear rejection, so we follow the crowd.... For fear of standing out, we wear what everyone else wears.... For fear of not being loved, we search for love in all the wrong places. But...those saturated in God's love don't sell out to win the love of others. They don't even sell out to win the love of God.... Do you think, If I cuss less, pray more, drink less, study more...if I try harder, God will love me more? Sniff and smell Satan's stench behind those words. We all need improvement, but we don't need to woo God's love. We CHANGE because we already have God's...perfect love.
--Max Lucado (Come Thirsty)
God's perfect love drives out fear.
1 John 4:18

Max, as usual, hits the absolute center of the target with his wisdom (or is it really his, or is it His?).
