God Gives Ability to Love
Apostle John desires his spiritual
children to 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 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 (1Jn 4:16-18).
We love Him because
He First Loved us (v19).
And this commandment we have
from Him: that he who loves God
must love his brother also (v21).
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 me Lord with Your Perfect Love;
which has no fear; and quieten my
heart so that I don’t have to worry.
I need perfect love for Your glory
so that others might see the peace
& assurance available only thru You.
Teach me 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.
