Hearing God In 1 John 4 (Dec 25)

Have Confidence In His Love

Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship
with God & writes telling them how:
God is Light and so 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
these 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 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.
We love Him because He First
Loved us (1Jn 4:16-19). Amen.

Lord, You are love personified;
and the fruit of the Spirit is love.
Reveal to me to know You more
and the ability to love You more.
Refresh me constantly with the 
fountain of Your love so that it will
overflow in my actions and words.
And help me find the path of love, 
even in difficult circumstances
and with difficult people. Amen.

Lord, we humans are often fearful
about the events swirling about us.
Fill us with Your perfect love and
I quieten our hearts Lord so that
we don’t have to worry and fret.
And we need it for Your glory so that
others might see the comfort and
assurance available only in & thro U.
Teach us to rest in the knowledge
that You are in full control. Amen.

Lord, thank You for first loving us.
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 abide in You & Fill me with
Your perfect love that casts out fear.
Hence, I can Live In Confidence and
share Your amazing love with others.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
