Deceived: (God will make love perfect in you.(click for more) “People are confused and deceived about God. He is not a vindictive ruler that remains distant to us. He wants to be personal, and it is intimacy that the Creator desires.”
Wright continued, “People need to understand the choices they are making, and the significance of those choices. When it comes to spiritual things, most people don’t understand. The forces of evil are speaking to us, persuading us, and leading us into deception. But the person chooses to go there.”
Jam 1:16-17; Psa 139:17,18, 23, 24; 1Jo 4:16-19: “Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.”
God’s love for us is more than we can comprehend. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
