Pushing Out Fear

I was thinking: fear is the opposite of a lot of good things. It is the opposite of faith, hope, peace and love. Let me explain. If you don't have faith that God is going to take care of you, you're afraid of what will happen. If you don't have hope that things will get better, you'll walk around pretty apprehensive. If you don't have a lot of peace in your soul, you probably are anxious about some stuff. If you don't have love, you have fear because it is only perfect loves that drives out fear.

But what am I filled up with most often? Not faith, hope, peace or love. Most often it's fear. It drives me and defines me. It's like our default position as human beings. There's a lot of it going around. Good thing God is all about faith, hope, peace and love. Something's gotta push that fear out.
