Love

We don't express love to one another because we are afraid.

And yet there is no fear in love ... perfect love casts out fear ...

So the love we are afraid to express is not perfect ...

So many hang ups .....

The very thing we boast about ... our freedom

Is an eagle with clipped wings .....

Grounded for safe keeping .... held captive

God is that perfect love .... let's grow our wings and fly.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5

This has been a challenge for me .... and yet it is so simple ... when I have drawn myself close to God believing that He loves me ... peace is always there ... and when I think of the times that I haven't it all boils down to one thing ... trust in the very real fact that God loves me and you and you. That was hard for me to believe for a long time. I felt I had disappointed Him and that I was unworthy in so many ways ... but He has generously poured grace upon me and covered me with His love and all my faults are nonexistent in His presence. That's where I want to be and that's where I want to stay ...
