Hello, Altered Stories Ministry Family,

October is a month devoted to fear, and scary themes, but are we as believers supposed to participate in things that build fear?

I have been reminded time and again that perfect love casts out fear, 1John:4:18. I think sometimes we need that reminder, when lots of things hit at once, and we don’t know how God is going to work out whatever it is.

As of this writing, I’m facing something major in my family. I find the unknown to be a fearful thing, taking up rent in my mind and I do not want that.

We are told over and over in the word “do not fear, do not be afraid.”

No matter what you are facing, know that God has you. You don’t have to live in fear, but you can live in faith and trust that he will work your issues out for your good, and His glory.

God bless,

Teresa
