FROM MEE TO YOU
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.”
- 1 John 4:18
Our world loves to play with fear.
With Halloween approaching, we see monsters, ghosts, and shadows everywhere. But these are just for fun—a way to laugh at what frightens us.
Yet, beyond the costumes, real fear still lives in our hearts: the fear of failure, of loss, of change, of rejection, of not being enough, or of the future's uncertainty.
On All Saints Sunday, we remember those who faced their fears with incredible faith. These saints walked through darkness, but they never let fear have the final word. Their courage wasn't about being fearless; it came from trusting in God’s perfect love, which casts out all fear.
What "Monsters" Are Whispering to You? This week, take a moment to ponder and name the fears that are trying to speak to you.
Is it the "monster" of the unknown? Is it the voice that asks, "What if?" Is it the feeling, "I'm not worthy"?
Name them. Face them. Then, let God’s love speak louder.
The saints before us show us that faith is not the absence of fear, but the decision to walk through it with God.
May your week be one where you face your fears, and find that love—God’s love—is stronger than any monster.
Yours in Faith,
Pastor Mee
