How to Find Perfect Love
“Perfect love casts out all fear, for fear hath torment. And he that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:18 We are created in the image of God and designed to have intimate relationships bound in love. I guess it would be safe to say we are created with a “need” to love, and be loved. As an infant, the first time we are touched and held by our parent, our initial experience with physical love is activated. But, only for a moment. At the stage of infancy, the ability to hold-on to love has […]
Unconditional Love: Finding the Real Thing
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1Corinthians 13:4-7 As you experience God’s love, you will know you have found the real thing.

Are You Able to Connect?
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 Connecting with people is sometimes very difficult to do. I t is heartbreaking when we can’t seem to connect with those who are closest to us. If you have been hurt in a relationship, you may be guarding your heart and fearful of being hurt again. It is very hard and even impossible to connect when you can’t lay your guard down and open your heart. If you find it hard to connect with others, you may have a wounded heart that needs to be healed. Trust God to […]
Strategic Rapid Fire
“Perfect love casts out all fear” 1 John 4:18 The greatest weapon we have against the enemy is love. He sets up camp in people who are fearful of rejection and convinces them that they are not loved. 1 John 4:18 says perfect love will cast out all fear. From this verse we can gain wisdom of how God intends for the enemy to be defeated. It is through love that fear is cast out and it is through love that his access points are closed. So how do you know when the enemy has someone in your family convinced […]
