Getting close to God means fear will shrivel; it’s the only thing that can happen as we get a sense of comfort and security in God’s love (see 1 John 4:8). So. The scene is set. What does God want to fill us with?
Check the verse again. Power and love. Now, power on its own brings breakthrough, insight and whatever else God would use to move mountains in our lives. But it needs love. Living in a wholehearted, accepting way, looking to put others first, is the best way to live out Godly power. Ultimately, His will is for power and love to work together in us.
God Himself works like that. He is the King of extraordinary power, who is motivated by love. The first thing you’ll find in your Bible (Genesis 1:1) is His power to create the heavens and earth, and us. Humans. Now, we are His precious creation. He used His power to create something that He definitely loves. A lot. Enough to die in our place, so that we can be in relationship with Him. All because of His love.
And He asks us to mirror that, to pair up His power with a love for the world. He’s more than willing to share those things with us; He gives us His spirit freely. Our world is bound to change when we step into that.

What Now?
Find a battery. Nick one from your remote control, if you have to. Then find something little that means a lot to you - maybe a photo, or something. Keep them both in your pocket all day, as a reminder that power and love belong together.
