Every Perfect Gift

 

     We have looked at our perfect God this week and the ways He works in us. It is a miraculous work He performs in fallen humans, but it is HIS work, not ours. As we read and meditate on His words to us and listen to Jesus in prayer, as we follow His ways, He changes us and most of all, it is all about love.

     There may be fear as we step out into this crazy world filled with anxiety and hate. But this perfect love casts away fear.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

     We know we will not reach perfection until heaven, but resting in God’s perfect love will take away our fear, even unto death. Remember, God is faithful. We can stand forever in our faith. Faith always brings hope and hope will bring us into our eternal home. God is perfect and unchanging. We can believe in our perfect and unchanging God.

Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God. Psalm 90:2,

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

Lord,

Every good gift is from You and Your unchanging ways. Your perfect love sustains us every day. Keep working in us, even when we fall. You never give up. Your ways are perfect. Your will is perfect. We love You and place our trust in You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
