Yesterday I wrote about how fear is an obstacle for love. If you try to instill fear in another to love them you are not actually loving them. You are instead trying to control them which is not of love.
God gave us free will to choose our course in life. He does not control us even though He could choose to do so. He chose to give us free will because He is perfect in His love for us.
If God is perfect in His love for us, how do we as humans show Him perfect love in return?
We should love him with a child like love, a love which is devoid of fear.
When we speak our prayers we should speak them wanting His will not our own if we trust Him.
We should submit our lives and our goals to Him, asking Him to bless that which will further His kingdom.
If He refuses to give us that which we ask for we should still praise Him because He is omnipotent.
We should continually praise His holy name and walk in communion with Him to please Him and to comfort Him.
We should not walk in condemnation nor extend that to others because that is rooted in fear. Walking in truth and calling out lies without condemnation is a difficult walk but it is necessary to walk hand in hand with a Holy God.
We should accept with joy the salvation of His son, Jesus and open up every locked door within our heart to the cleansing of His blood and the renewing of our heart, soul, spirit and mind.
After we have done all of this we may rejoice in knowing that we have taken only the first step towards loving God in the way He has loved us for all eternity.
Praise God for His never ending and perfect love.

Amen! I love it… wonderful post!! Such simple yet profound truths! God bless you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. You have such a wonderful impact on my life. I bought the water pitcher that you promoted but could not figure out how to hook it up to my sink until my brilliant son came home from college for Christmas break. Took him five minutes and it was set up. You have a remarkable ability to sell a product. The thing I like about you the most is that you really research products. I have to watch myself because you are so convincing that I buy things I can not afford if you promote them. lol
I don’t know if you have ever heard of the new facial cream that has entered the market called Nerium Age Defying cream but it is something that I have just recently become involved with. It is made from natural products and the company that sells it has a wonderful compensation plan. Please look at my website jeanineg.nerium.com. Basically you just share the product with your friends and take a before and after picture and the product sells itself. Every time I go to a corporate meeting I think of you and what a rock star you would be in this business. I would love to talk to you anyway even if you are not interested I think you are such a wonderful young lady but the business would be a cinch for you.
Gracie, I truly loved this post. “Everything according to his will, not ours” and then wait.
The words you speak are true and I agree with everything you say, but it still is very hard to live perfectly by the truth. Jesus says “be perfect as our Father is perfect” but it is so hard. What we aspire to be and what we actually are, are two different things, but at least we aspire to be that which we know is the truth.
Bravo my friend. Well written and on target.
Thank you dear friend.
Touched my soul. I loved it
And that my dear is exactly why I write. Thanks so much for your feedback. You have done much to lift me up since the day I met you. Thank you for that!
