Today's Verse - 1 John 4:18 (KJV)

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

—1 John 4:18 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Do you remember what Jesus said when he came walking on the water to his disciples during the storm? He literally told them, "Do not fear, I Am." In the presence of the holy and awesome Son of God, we don't have to be afraid. God's grace to us in Jesus takes away our need for fear because Jesus' sacrifice makes us holy, without fault, and free from any charge against us (Colossians 1:21-22). Our response? Love! We love our Father for who he is, for what he has done, for his great sacrifice for us, and most of all, for making us holy and taking away our fear.

My Prayer...

Dear Father in heaven, you are holy, awesome, and glorious. These are things I could never be without your grace, yet you have chosen to give me these blessings through the sacrifice of your Son Jesus. Thank you. I love you. In Jesus' name I praise you. Amen.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Jesus, John 10:10

❤Let Us Pray: God Thank You for loving me. God I ask You in Jesus’ name cleanse me of anything that breaks Your heart. God let me love what You love and hate what You hate. God let me always seek good and not evil. So heal and deliver me in every area of my life of the things that I have given the thief (Satan) access to, or that doesn’t please You. God lift the curtain, remove the veil of darkness, take the mask off of everyone (including myself), and expose who they really are to me. Lord place it all under Your light so that I can see clearly. God do not let me be deceived or accept anyone’s actions (including my own) that do not line up to the Word of God. God waken my spirit and my flesh to those who wear the false faces, masks, who are liars, walk in usury, anger, or deceptions. God give me wisdom on how to deal with them or not deal with them. God do the same for the writer of this prayer, everyone I love, care about, and every member of this prayer site. Thank You God. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
