"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."(1 john 4:17)

There are two words I’d like you to take note of in the opening verse. First one is "perfect" which means "made complete",secondly "judgment". Judgment originated from the Greek word, "krisis", a derivative of the English word, "crisis". meaning a time of intense difficulty or danger.
Whether you're having crisis in Church or in your job, at home or the country where you reside, you need to know that God wants you to have boldness/confidence in that day of crisis.

Mark 4:38 "…Master, carest thou not that we perish". This verse gives credence to what we're talking about. It tells us the story of how the disciples were agitated amidst a raging storm. Consumed with fear, they cried out to Jesus, at that hour of crisis, that period of turbulence, Jesus was unflustered. He hushed the tempestuous weather to sleep. Mark 4:39, "…he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."He then rebuked His disciples saying, "Where is your
faith?". Faith in what? You may ask, in the Father's love! That was the confidence Jesus had. John 15:9 says, "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."
When you live in the Father’s love, you become fearless
of anything because you know the Father is there with you and in you. That fellowship inspires confidence. You’re conscious that you dwell in His love.1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear...."

No matter what you face in life, rebuke anxiety; calm the storm. Give the Word of faith. Perform miracle's! In spite of the turbulence, declare peace, tranquility, and calmness over situations. Be bold and confident in the day of crisis because you have the Father’s love; and God is love, meaning you’ll always win.
