Day 3 "Loved Above All Things"
The Light of Love
Good Morning Beauties!
“ Love is made perfect in us when we are not ashamed as we stand before Him on the day He judges. For we know that our life in this world is His life lived in us. There is no fear in love. Perfect love puts fear out of our hearts. People have fear when they are afraid of being punished. The man who is afraid does not have perfect love.” 1 John 4:17-18 (NLV)
Perfect love. The world had only known conditional love before Jesus left heaven and joined us here on Earth. God does not allow anything to separate us from His love - no sin, no backsliding, no failure, NOTHING!. He loves us above it all! Hallelujah!
Conditional love comes with fear, right? It says, “if you’re good enough, I will love you.” This kind of human love leads to perfectionism and has us on the treadmill of doing more, being better, and endless striving. Can you relate? What fear in your life has come with conditional love? Selah.
Let’s get off that treadmill, say good-bye to perfectionism, and hello to being perfectly loved by Jesus. We can let go of the stress and strife of measuring up to someone else’s expectations and know that we are fully loved and accepted just the way we are - blemishes and all. What fear is Jesus asking you to let go of today? Selah.
