We all struggle with something. If you struggle with fear, you may create a version of God that demands you to control every possible outcome. While sacrificial love can help you break down that persona, it doesn't necessarily make it disappear completely - you may find yourself creating another one. To truly overcome this, you must choose, with Jesus, to destroy that inflatable version of yourself. But how do we do that when we're afraid of being vulnerable with others? The answer is to choose love, which conquers fear. Perfect love drives out fear, and so we must choose, time and again, to be vulnerable and honest. As we deflate our personas and share our true selves, His love will continue to destroy our fears.
