There is but one antidote to the poisoning of the mind known as fear.
It is knowing God’s perfect love. It cannot be compared to any earthly experience. Instead it must be understood that our human mind can’t wrap around it.
Paul tells us it surpasses all understanding. It is honestly mind blowing. So if it doesn’t blow you away it is not perfect love.
So how do we understand Gods love for us? We meditate on what He has done for us. Not on what we do. For who but God has done these great things when we were still so undeserving? No one.
It is too good! This belief that nothing we or anyone can ever do can change God’s love for me and you. It’s scandalous. But, not too good to be true.
Feeling fear is natural. Most things we do we will do afraid, but if that fear paralyzes you then you don’t know perfect love.
Let’s choose the work of believing the God who loves perfectly. With an everlasting, outside of time love.
How would your life change if you knew that you knew that nothing could change, nor compare to God’s love for you?

Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others.
I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile.
Blessings to you and yours,
<3Melinda
