Encouragement Friday--Love

Today i was reading a devotional about God's love, it was talking about when Jesus was first born and how he came into the world and he was love. His love is ever present in our lives, nothing can change how much he loves us. He carries our burdens with love, he takes the weight our suffering and helps us unload all that is bringing us down. He takes our hand and walks with us even when we just don't think we can go anymore. In 1 John 1-4 God continualy reminds us what love is and what it looks like.
 1 John 4:18 says it best-- "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

Here's a little snippet from the devotional--

"Your love breathes and sighs. It sings and it laughs. It weeps. And, yes, it feels.You don’t shout commands from on-high, You are teeming with nearness.
 Your love is active.
And she held it. That love was her firstborn son.
I adore You, holiness wrapped in flesh that demonstrated that the two might find home in the other.
Your wonder, in that night, has a forever-wonder to work in me. Father, You have only just begun in me …"--Sara, Everything bitter is Sweet. 

She Held That Love, Everything Bitter is Sweet devo.
