[b]What is Perfect Love?[/b][i]1 John 4:8-12[/i]But let the lowliest soul whose influence apparently amounts to nothing get rightly related to God, and out of him will flow rivers of living water which he does not see, but one day we shall find that it is those lives which have been spreading the lasting benediction. Love is of God; it never came from the devil and never can go to the devil. When I am rightly related to God, the more I love the more blessing does He pour out on other lives. The reward of love is the capacity to pour out more love all the time, hoping for nothing again. That is the essential nature of perfect love.[b]The true import of love is the surrender of my self, I go out of myself in order to live in and for God. To be indwelt by the Spirit of Jesus means I am willing to quit my own abode from the self-interested standpoint and live only in and for God.[/b]~Oswald Chambers [i]Still Higher For His Highest, July 17th.[/i]
Amen Perfect love cast out all fear.He did not give us a SPIRIT of fear but power and love and a sound mind.For God so loved the world that he gave HIS only begotten SON that whosoever believeth in HIM should not persish but have everlasting life.God is LOVE.Greater Love hath no man than to lay down HIS life for another.
