“God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we’re free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. We, though, are going to love—love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first.” -1 John 4:17-19, MSG
I confess, Lord, that I’ve
failed to live in light
of the truth of who
I know
You are.
Please forgive me.
Please help me to
trust
in You.
To stand firm in this
Truth
to not fear my circumstances
to love you with all my
heart, soul, mind & strength.
Freedom
is found
in You
in fearing You
which really translates into loving You
in You
is freedom
love
and the ability
to love
those that have what I want, those who have hurt me, those who I want to love and those who I can’t bring myself to look at…
in You
is freedom
to love freely, to worship fully, to hope… to keep hoping.
Keep hoping.
