Perfect love is singing over me

Faith is rising/I am seeing/You are smiling over me//Perfect love is filling us. Fear is fleeing, fear is leaving. Perfect love is singing over me//Faith is rising/I am hearing/You are laughing at my enemies.// I'm your beloved....I'm your beloved...I'm your beloved.

I'm drinking in this song by Melissa and Jonathan David Helser right now.



Perfect love is singing over me. I recently re-read the scripture this song references. It's in good ole 1 John 4:18.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. (AKJV)

When I'm operating out of fear, there is no creativity. Fear tells me I'm not enough, my ideas aren't good enough, my design isn't strong enough, my words aren't compelling enough. Fear becomes torment and turns into "I'm not good enough. I am not enough." Perfect love casts out these fears. Perfect love--GOD'S LOVE--says, "You are enough. You are my child. You are the one I love. The one I made in my image."

As I journey back to the heart of God and find out more of my own heart's desires, I sense that I am just to rest in His love for now. There are no answers outside of Him. "In Him we LIVE and MOVE and HAVE OUR BEING." God is the ultimate in creativity. The desires of my heart were birthed by Him. He is the only one who can peel back my layers of fear with His love. He is the one who is cheering for me. So, in the shadow of His wings...I'll sing for joy. I will find joy in my strong-willed son. I will find joy in my too-hectic pace. I will find joy in every corner. I will find joy in each of you, even when you're struggling to find it for yourself.

Sing. Write. Laugh. Love. That's all I have for now.
