God is not just with you - he loves you!

MONDAY, DECEMBER 5

READ: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment…” 1 John 4:18a

REFLECT: The love of God was expressed fully when Christ came to earth, and grew up to take all our punishment for sin upon himself! When I realize what this means – that I no longer need to fear the punishment of God since my sins are forgiven – God’s peace and life reign in my heart! Listen to Elizabeth’s song about this, which we filmed two years ago when she joined us as a guest on Christmas Eve, on today’s video devo. Meditate on these words and the scripture above, and allow yourself time to bask in the love of God in Christ!

Love is Here - Elizabeth Hunnicutt

Love is here, Love is here
He will wipe away every tear
He will cast out every fear
This is love: Messiah in a baby boy
Bringing love, bringing life
You will reign forever in the hearts of men

Hope is here, Hope is here
He will wipe away every tear
He will cast out every fear
This is love: Messiah in a baby boy
Bringing hope, bringing life
You will reign forever in the hearts of men

Heaven came down in a manger
Light came to darkness
History changed through the Savior
Here with us
This is love…
