‘Fear not’ is one of Jesus’ most frequently repeated phrases. This is because the enemy of our faith is not doubt but fear. Our level of fear is the indication of how little of God’s perfect love we’ve received. No one gets caught up in God’s drama for their lives without having to take huge risks, and nothing can interrupt the drama like being afraid to take those risks. Those who believe they are the beloved move from one risk to the next, not because they expect to always succeed, but because they don’t care if they fail. How bad can the failure be? They can’t lose the love of God.
