Your Perfect Love Displaces Fear


Your Perfect Love Displaces Fear:

Love. At the very core of my being, Lord, may Your matchless love be planted in my soul. May the roots of Your truth extend down into the soil, deeper and deeper, penetrating any strongholds of doubt or distress.

May Your love begin to displace distrust, annihilate anxiety, and restore to me a renewed sense of faithful courage.

Help me to know the truth that You are the Lord of Love, not of confusion and deceit. You're not trying to lure me into believing false realities. You long to make known to me the utter freedom of running out of the chains of fear-fraught thinking. You want to rescue my mind from this prison of poisonous lies.

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

You offer me the promise of Your Spirit of Love and Truth. It's only by Your Truth and Your kindness that I can be truly set free from the gruelling grip of fear and doubt.

Lord, I thank You for this reminder today. Thank You that You've not given me a spirit of fear, but You have given me a spirit of love, truth, and Your resurrection power inside of me. You've blessed me with a sound mind that is grounded in Your Word. Help me to look to You when my eyes feel clouded by doubts and distrust. Help me to remember to always reaffirm my confidence in Your goodness and compassion.

I choose to have faith in Your faithful favour over me. Your goodness has never failed me. You never change. Therefore I can be certain that You won't forsake me now. I'm running to You, my God. I'm running into the precious Presence of Your unfailing love and pureness. Selah... Happy Sunday indeed...

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
