Daily Bread

1 John 4:17 - "In this the love is perfected within us that we may have confidence in the day of judgment because as He is so are we in this world."

The most yielded state of the heart is being at rest knowing that you are loved. God wants us to know His love. In this state of confidence and faith we will receive everything that Jesus wants to transmit into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. When Father wanted to convince Abraham of the things that He promised He swore an oath to Him. Today, He has even done something greater for us. In order to convince us of His love and commitment to us He sent His only begotten Son to die for us at Calvary. We must respond to His love and accept the fact that He loves us and cares for us so intensely that He spared not His own Son for our sakes. In is essential that we continually recline in the love of God, that we may be "rooted and grounded in love in order to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ that passes knowledge that you might be filled with all of the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:17-19).
