Daily Read “ Daniel 11:36-12:13; 1 John 4:1-21; Psalm 123:1-4; Proverbs 29:2-4
 
1 John 4:17-19
 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment;
because as He is, so are we in this world. 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.
We love Him because He first loved us. 
 
You are safe and secure in the embrace of My love. I loved you the first time a saw you from within My heart, which has been from eternity. Fear has no place nor dominion in you because My love permeates throughout your entire being. Fear must flee in the presence of My perfect love. 
 
There is no reason to fear anything from Me. I am Your loving heavenly Father. Fear is equated with punishment, but My love covers and eradicates the penalty for your sin as far as the east is from the west. When looking upon your face, I see a beautiful blood-washed child who is complete in My Son. In fact, His love is perfected in you so as He is, so are you in this world. In Him, you live, move, and have your being. 
 
As Jesus walked the earth, He demonstrated My love to all. He healed the sick, brought hope to the hopeless, touched the broken hearted, and delivered the oppressed. As He is, so are you! 
 
Do not allow the paralyzing effects of fear to withhold you from walking into the brilliancy of your future. When fear continues to taunt, it is because you do not have the full revelation of My love. You still operate from a place of performance to attain My acceptance instead of from your position of rest seated in heavenly places with My Son, Christ Jesus.
 
If you continually feel unsafe, it is a sure indication you have jumped from the security of My arms into the shackles of self-reliance and control. Repent and run back into My arms of safety.
 
Remember, you can love Me, knowing that I first loved you!
 
Father, forgive me when I allowed others and circumstances to rob me from the revelation of Your love. I repent for holding onto old mindsets that lead me from You into old thought patterns of fear. I refuse to allow fear to paralyze me from experiencing Your perfect love. You are not a man who would lie. When You say, "As Christ is so am I in this world", I choose to believe it! Forgive me for jumping from Your wisdom into my own in this area. As an act of my will, I choose to stay in the safety and security of who You say I am, to resist the enemy of fear, and watch him flee! As Jesus is so am I in this world.... Amen!
