Know Love, No Fear

I John 4:18 says perfect love casts out fear.

I have a friend who loves and who fears. She has a lot to fear: her husband lost his job. He's lost his identity and will to live. She loves God. She trusts God. But, she fears.
I understand. How can perfect love cast out fear?

I started picturing casting out fear. I discovered that casting out was also driving out, like the word they used in war with the enemy. That helped me understand more. It may be work, or even war to drive out fears. It also implies we may have them, we just need to throw (cast) them out.

So, in the name of love: Cast out fears!
