God Gives You Ability to Love
Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship
with God & writes telling them how:
God is Light and therefore to
engage in fellowship with Him
means walking in the light of
His commandments. God is Love,
and thus His children must walk
in love. God is Life, and those
who desire fellowship with Him
must possess the spiritual life,
which begins with spiritual birth.
Lord, we’ll be Confident In Yr Love:
God is love and all who live in love
live in God, and God lives in them.
And as we live in God, our love
grows more perfect. So we will not
be afraid on the day of judgment,
but we can face Him with
Confidence because we are like
Christ here in this world. Such
love has No Fear because perfect
love expels all fear (1Jn4:16-18).
Lord, You are love personified;
and the fruit of the Spirit is love.
Lord, reveal to me to know You
more and give me the ability to
love You more. I want to overflow
with the constant refreshing
fountain of Your love so that it will
overflow in my actions and words.
Even in difficult circumstances
with difficult people, help me
find the path of love. Amen.
Lord, thank You for first loving me.
As we live in You, our love grows
more complete. Although I don’t
understand all the trials I may go
through, I trust in Your love for me.
Help me to abide in You. Fill me
with Your perfect love that casts
out all fear so that I can live in
Confidence and rest in You and
then share Your amazing love
with those around me. Amen.
Lord, I want to be marked by
Your Peace; for love has No Fear;
and the fruit of the Spirit is peace.
Lord I need Your peace so that
I don’t worry and fret. More than
that I need it for Your glory so that
others might see the wonderful
comfort and assurance available
only in You & thro You. Teach me
how to rest in the knowledge
that You are in control. Amen.
