No Fear
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.” I John 4:18 I have lived in this verse for many years. I’ve tried to love others perfectly but I was afraid of choices they could make that might hurt…

What love!
“See what love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God…” 1 John 3:1 NIV I’ve recently developed a new favorite experience: listening to God tell me how much He loves someone. It’s like watching a baby light up when he sees a new toy, or a child discover…

Selfless Love
“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 Selfless love is rare if not impossible, but it is no longer a mystery to me. I know where it comes from. You cannot love selflessly unless you know you are loved selflessly. Human beings are…

God’s Perfect Love
Perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18 Nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Rom 8:39 Several things happen when you experience and accept God’s perfect love. One of them is fear gets thrown out. You stop being afraid. When you know that God,…

Loved.
How can I tell you how much love God has for us? How can I get tired of it? It is endless! Exhaustive! Every time I go to look, there is more I didn’t see. When I think I’ve gotten a hold of it all, it’s bigger and deeper than I imagined. More than that,…

For Reasons
“And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee…” Deuteronomy 7:13 We know that God is love, and love is what He does, but He also loves you for very specific reasons. We are all made in the image of God, but you are unique, unlike anyone else. God sees something different in…

The Love of God
“Because the Lord loved you…” Deuteronomy 7:8. This phrase sticks out in my mind and plays and replays like a broken record or a glitch in the matrix. Love is the greatest motivator in the universe; it moves God to tears and into action. Many of the things He does or doesn’t do are because……

Faith Hope Love
“So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 RSV Faith, hope, and love are soul-powers. They are more powerful for changing habits than wisdom, strength, or kindness. Add these motivators to your mindset and routine as often as possible and see what I mean. Faith is…
