The one who fears is not made >perfect in love. --1 John 4:18 New International Version >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... What is there to fear if God sent >his Son to die to redeem us? What is there to fear if we cannot be >separated from the love God has for us in Christ Jesus? What is >there to fear except ourselves? As we love God and his children, we >are reminded by his love for us, which is far better than our meager >love for others. Rather than run from him in fear, we bow before him >in thanks, knowing that he who hears our prayers is also he who >loves us and stops our fears. >MY PRAYER... Loving Father, thank you that I can revere you without >fearing your wrath. Thank you that I can revere your word and yet >not be terrified by my inadequacies. May your love in me produce a >closer likeness to your holiness, righteousness, justice, and mercy >than all the laws, threats, and judges combined. Through Jesus, who >ransomed me from sin, I pray. Amen. >----------- >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/tejhvhk_hewskwsw.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/vkmgzgf_hewskwsw.html>http://www.zondervan.com > ><http://crosswalkmail.com/Forward.do?a=main&m=ernwmt&r=hewskwsw> If >you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
