“fear less love more”
“fear less love more”
“There is no fear in love – dread does not exist; but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love – is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection.” – First John 5:18 (The Amplified Bible)
“‘Men’s states vary:
one is without fear and love;
another, with fear without love;
another, with fear and love;
another, without fear with love’
[BENGEL].”
(Jamieson Fausset and Brown – Commentary on the Whole Bible)

COPING WITH STRESS
“Be thankful. Spend at least five minutes each day focusing on all the things for which you’re grateful, and take time to reflect.”
I am reading that in the magazine called “LUCKY BREAK” (September 9 2013).
That is tip number five nutrition expert Dr Libby Weaver gives to “Control stress levels”.
Coping with stress, “modern-day stress and strain,” seems to be in the news today and for very obvious reasons, and we are looking for ways to control stress levels.
I find it very interesting that “Be thankful” is one of the tips from the nutrition expert.
The BIBLE goes even a step further:
The Bible does not only teach to focus on the things for which we are thankful, but the Bible says to be thankful for everything. And everything means of course everything!
Here are the exact words as you find them in the Bible:
“BE JOYFUL ALWAYS;
PRAY CONTINUALLY;
GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES,
FOR THIS IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.”
– First Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
