“LET GOD’S LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being. Do not close off any part of yourself from GOD. GOD knows you inside and out, so do not try to present a “cleaned-up” self to The LORD. Wounds that you shut away from the Light of GOD’S Love will fester and become “wormy”. Secret sins that you “hide” from GOD can split off and develop lives of their own, controlling you without your realizing it. Open yourself fully to The LORD’S transforming Presence. Let GOD’S brilliant Love-Light search out and destroy hidden fears. This process requires time alone with GOD, as HIS Love soaks into your innermost being. Enjoy GOD’S perfect Love, which expels every trace of fear.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 23 – 24
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 1 JOHN 4:18
Prayer: Search me oh Lord. Show me any offensive ways in me. Cleanse me Lord. And let your love soak into my innermost being as I spend time alone with you. Freeing me from all my worries as you take them for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
