Perfect Love Is Here. I Can Feel Him As I Write

Perfect Love casts out all fear

 For fear has to do with punishment

 The one who fears is not made Perfect in Love

Fear torments me
I'm not kidding
Fear steals my rest
My sleep
My Peace

I realize that there are reasons why I fear
There are past hurts and traumas in my life
That have given the enemy hooks
Weaknesses that he preys upon
And torments me with in my 31 year old life today

I am going through a process today
To take the word of God like a Balm
Apply it to this unslept, chaotic fearful heart of mine

Maybe you need to go through this process too?
Maybe the ways fear torments you is different than me?
Maybe its not

If anyone
Anyone
Needs the ointment of 
Perfect Love, right now
It's me
And maybe you.....?



Perfect Love is here
I can feel Him as I write

Perfect Love 

Is

The quietness in the morning

My still pond oasis hidden amidst busy car engine streets
And cookie cutter houses

I can trust Perfect Love to be there when I wake up
I will never be left to face a day alone.........
Ever 

Perfect Love stays with me through today's ups and downs 

 The busyness

The unexpected

At night, when all the things I did wrong

 Or not quite good enough

All the ways I didn't measure up 

Are attaching to my mind like a vice grip

Perfect love is there, and sees the good

The very best in me

Familiar words of failure whisper my lack
As a wife, a friend, a daughter, a woman, a Christian, a role model
Perfect Love whispers back
"Oh, but you are Loved child, and you belong to me" 
"From head to toe, you are covered in My Grace"

 Perfect Love looks for the good that is in my heart

Perfect Love doesn't leave me to fend for myself

  To figure out life alone

  Perfect Love likes to teach me everything it knows

 Perfect Love lets me crack the eggs and stir

Even if I keep dropping shells in and leave lumps... 

Perfect Love sees a baker in me

Perfect Love listens when I talk about my day
Like really listens

 When I open my heart to Perfect Love, it sees it as precious
A flower

 My heart is secure in the gentle hands of Perfect Love

Perfect Love sees me

 He knows the little things (It's always the little things with me) that make my heart swell

 He loves to make me smile

Perfect Love doesn't want anything from me, but my smile and delight

Perfect Love thinks I'm beautiful

When I'm quiet

 When I dream

 When the ideas come and pile on top of me till I can't move

And I'm stuck

Perfect Love believes in me

Perfect Love tells me I can, against all odds

When I say "I don't know how.  I can't.  I'm scared.  What if I fail?  What if You leave me, and I have to figure it out alone?"

Perfect Love reminds me that there is a greater one on the inside of me

Who possesses the qualities that I don't

Who has the answers that I need, the strength, the perseverance

Perfect Love gives

 It's His Joy to give to me
 Fill me

 Perfect Love does not run out of steam or burn out

Or have His own problems to tend to

  Perfect Love is my constant supply

I can lean on Perfect Love

  He doesn't change from day to day

 My mood never causes Him to change, or back away

Or take His Love back a little

Perfect Love is stable, and steady

 I can put some weight on Him

Perfect love doesn't look like anything I have seen before

  I can't compare it

I can only imagine it

Perfect love is not weather permitting, or based on my goodness

Perfect Love always welcomes me

 Perfect Love has no shortage of hugs, and sweet kisses

  Perfect Love doesn't wonder why I am crying... again

  Perfect Love isn't disappointed, or wish I was doing more

Perfect Love is pleased with me

Perfect Love is okay if I stay in His arms all day 

Perfect Love is okay if I get distracted and forget about those arms.... 

They will be there when I need them again

Perfect Love sees this day ahead of me
This one I am a little scared I cannot handle

My prayer is that Perfect Love
Will seep into the deepest places of my heart today

Oh what it would look like for us to fully receive
Fully soak up everything that Perfect Love offers us
Be transformed into everything that Perfect Love has made us

We might actually be so light
 We could fly
