Embrace a perfect love
People are afraid of love. Romantic love, or even God’s love seems overwhelming at times. We’re afraid of never finding love, we’re afraid of losing love when we do find it, and we’re afraid of how that love will change us, as it continues to hang around.
How ironic that 1 John 4:18 says, “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.”
When you read the word “perfect” in that passage, it comes from a Greek word -teleios- that refers to something that was laid out, and then completed, like running a race course to the finish line. This word teleios would be stamped on documents to show that a debt was owed, and then was paid on full.
Teleios was the last word Jesus said on the cross.
Don’t lose your joy. Just be happy, Danny. Just be happy. Everything will be alright.
I think that’s all I really want right now. Joy, Happy. Be positive
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

When we lose one blessing,
another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.

Should I stumble again
Still I’m caught in Your grace
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
My heart and my soul, I give you control. Consume me from the inside out.
