You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater
than the one who is in the world.
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
(1 John 4:4,13, 16-17)
The one thing I am counting on: His love…
I am fully reliant on His love.
Are you reliant on His love today?
It will transform you completely.
It is in fact, an extreme makeover.
I am grateful that He has my back, front, sides and innards.
He has me covered, friends.
I face each day steadfast in His love because it is all that matters…
He becomes greater, and I become less;
in this I have confidence
and am made complete…
Lord, You truly bring freedom and I do pray that I,
and all those who desire to know you
would grasp the vast sum of your love in Christ Jesus.
You, Lord, are greater and in this recognition
I rely wholly on your love.
May we be more like you in the world now,
by your Spirit,
that your love may be made known.
Amen.
Enthusiastically, Dawn
