I started reading my next book this week: "You're Already Amazing" by Holley Gerth. Holley writes around the dare that we "don't have to do more, be more, have more" in life.
Reading this morning, Holley talks on the difference between growth and perfectionism. She writes, "We've been made perfect-check-but we're still in the process of being made holy. God's goal in our lives is growth."
"Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18)
I don't have to be perfect.
I only need to be perfectly loved.
And I am.
So are you.

A dear friend's name entered my mind when reading this reminder this morning. This scripture resonated with me and my heart, and with all that she is currently battling at the moment. After praying for her, I thought I need to text her that verse. Being more rushed than usual this morning, that thought slipped my mind as both kids woke up and momma needed to get to a meeting. A few hours later, I passed her car parked at an office. *Light Bulb ON*- send her the text God reminded me! Without hesitation, I simply sent "Perfect love drives out fear". What she replied back is why I'm blogging about this now.......
I HEAR YA, GOD!!!!!
Something we both needed to hear today, and something He was already speaking to each of us individually! How COOL is our God?!?!?! Don't you have chills?!?
Y'all....when you talk to God, HE TALKS BACK! ALWAYS! You may not notice it if you're not keeping your eyes and ears wide open. It is most all the time very subtle. But these are the moments I live for. These are the times that I can't help by cry out and say THANK YOU JESUS!
So just because I know you needed to hear this reminder today..........
"Perfect love drives out fear" 1 John 4:18
divine appointment with Jesus,
