Forty Days Without FearSample

GOD IS FOR US

God loves us! Not only does God love us, but there is nothing - no event, thought, feeling, past trauma, or future fear, that could ever separate us from His love.

If no wrongs, worry, anxiety or doubt can stop God loving us, then why do we carry hearts full of fear, hoping that God doesn’t see? Or store away our doubts, fearing that God will dismiss us if we bring them to Him? Fearing God is afraid of our mess, our imperfections, our sins.

God is not scared of the mess, imperfections, or wrongs in our lives, whether intentionally made, or by accident. God wants to be digging through the dirt on His hands and knees right beside us, and there is nothing we’ve done that could shock God, or put Him off. 

Sometimes we hide our failures in secret rooms, hoping that we can mask our shame, pain and disappointment. Thinking that if God saw our lives for what they truly are, His ‘unconditional love’ would be lost. 

Our verses show ‘nothing’ - no self-inflicted mess, career failing, personal heartbreak, wrong thought, fear or anxiety, can stop from God loving us. The truth is God’s love cannot be cancelled! 

Action: Are we carrying around things in our hearts that we don’t want God to see? What fears or worries are we keeping to ourselves? Today, create space to bring all the mess to God in prayer, knowing that He will love us no matter what, and write down what He has to say in response.
