Good morning Aqua and all. Good morning Aeronaut.

We're going to a Medieval Fair today. It's going to rain all day and I consider the mud to be part of the "set". LOL Much love and have a blessed day.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. —1 John 4:18


It was love that heard my pleadings
When I cried out in my sin;
It was love that gave me comfort;
It was love that took me in

We won't fear God's judgment when we know His forgiving love.

Perfect Love

Read: 1 John 4:15-18

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. —1 John 4:18

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 14; Matthew 26:51-75


A wise man once wrote, "When love comes, fear goes."

I know so many Christians who are tormented by feelings of self-doubt, worthlessness, and sinfulness. They think they must do something to make God love them more. Yet the apostle John said that "as [Jesus] is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). In other words, we share the same confidence that Jesus has in knowing that the Father loves us with perfect love.

Because Jesus accomplished our redemption on the cross, all judgment for sin is behind Him and us, and the sin question is forever settled. We now face no condemnation.

This removes fear. For as John wrote, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear" (v.18). The "fear" of which John spoke is fear of judgment. But we have nothing to fear, for "there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). Fear is driven out by God's "perfect love."

We're forgiven for all our sins, held fast by God's love, and destined to enjoy eternal fellowship with Him, not because of anything we have done but because He has done everything for us. "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us" (1 John 4:10). That's perfect love! —David Roper

It was love that heard my pleadings
When I cried out in my sin;
It was love that gave me comfort;
It was love that took me in. —Bonney

Since I have been at Free Republic, I have been enjoying all the creative Gif's... I used to think just a regular smiley was cute.. now they punch each other, vomit, do cartwheels & like yours dance & kiss(my guess they are kissing when they come together?)

It is almost balmy here in NE Ohio.. after 20 below zero for so long, having weather in the thirtys is really nice in comparison. I feed birds & get mail/paper in just T-shirt / jeans...

Hope you have a good day/weekend. I am off to get garbage out.. garbage day here is always exciting.. (not)

Lets hope the trolls decide to stay away & spend some time with their valentines, huh?
