Resting in the Power of God’s Perfect Love

God's perfect love

Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder of the kind of love that holds us, carries us, and never lets us go. God’s love isn’t like human love—changing with moods, moments, or circumstances. His love is constant, deep, and beyond anything our hearts can fully grasp. Today, I want to encourage you with a truth that has the power to calm fear, strengthen hope, and transform the way we see ourselves and others.

God is love. It’s not just something He does—it is who He is. His love isn’t conditional or occasional. It doesn’t depend on our performance, our perfection, or our past. It is perfect, steady, and freely given. The only thing we must do is open our hearts to receive it.

Because His love is perfect, it pushes out fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failing. Fear of not being enough. Fear of being rejected. All of these lose their power when we rest in the unfailing security of God’s love.

And this love isn’t meant to stay just within us—it flows through us. We love others because God first loved us. His love softens our hearts, helping us show grace, patience, kindness, and compassion even when it’s hard. It becomes the foundation of our faith, the source of our hope, and the well from which we draw strength to love others well.

God’s love is deeper, wider, and greater than anything we could ever imagine. We are not just loved—we are completely and endlessly loved.

Ephesians 3:18–19 expresses this beautifully:

“And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide, how long, how high, and how deep that love is.”

God’s love is not something we earn—it’s a gift we receive. His perfect love brings peace, removes fear, strengthens our faith, and empowers us to love others. No matter how we feel or what we face, we can stand confidently knowing we are held by a love that is limitless and unchanging. You are deeply, completely, and wonderfully loved.

Let this truth settle in your heart today. God’s love is your anchor—you can rest in it.

When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him When We Feel Forgotten

Image
Have You Ever Felt God Is Far Away? Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t answer—or even like He wasn’t there at all? We all go through seasons where God feels silent. His voice seems quiet, our prayers seem unanswered, and it’s easy to feel forgotten. Recognise your feelings Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and we wonder if God has left us to face it alone. David knew this feeling well. In Psalm 13:1–2, he cries: “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” David doesn’t hide his frustration or doubt. He brings his raw, honest emotions to God. And here’s the beautiful truth: God welcomes our honesty. He’s not offended by our questions or doubts—He desires a real, genuine relationship with us. Shift from Despair to Trust David doesn’t stay in despair. Later in Psalm 13:5–6, he chooses trust over doubt: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing th...

What’s in Your Cup? Learning to Overflow With Thankfulness

Image
Life has a funny way of revealing what’s really inside us. Imagine this: you’re walking back from the office kitchen with a cup of coffee. Someone bumps into you and—splat!—coffee everywhere. You spilled coffee because coffee was in your cup. If it had been tea, tea would have spilled instead. That moment teaches us something powerful: when life bumps us—through challenges, stress, or unexpected situations—whatever is in our hearts tends to spill out. That’s why Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7 to live rooted in Christ: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Being “rooted and built up in Him” means our hearts are filled with Christ’s love and strength. When life bumps us, what spills out isn’t frustration or fear—it’s thankfulness. How do we stay full of thankfulness? So the question becomes: how do we stay full of tha...

God’s Word That Opens Paths Through the Impossible

Image
God’s Word is a gift that renews the mind. At the dead ends of life, in the darkness we never saw coming, His Word steps in like a bright light cutting through every shadow. From the very beginning, God’s voice has always made a way where there seemed to be no way. At the edge of the Red Sea, when the Israelites were trapped between deep waters and a relentless enemy, God spoke — and the sea opened. His voice carved a path through the impossible. “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.” — Psalm 77:19 That is who God is. His Word doesn’t always explain every detail, but it always guides. It doesn’t always prevent the struggle, but it never leaves us to face it alone. Maybe today you’re standing at what looks like a dead end — hoping for a miracle, longing for direction. Don’t lose heart. The Word is still alive, and it still makes a way. Don’t lean on your own understanding. Open the Bible. Inside are promises that do not...
