Trust in the LORD

1 John 4:15-21 

..."Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.


We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. 


God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 


By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in 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, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.


We love, because He first loved us.


If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.


And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also."

Thank you, Nelia, I understand completely!! Linus really knows his scripture.

Sometimes I think of the man, Mr. Schulz, funny guy, but he really made some good statements of reality throughout his time, and his choice to give a "hat tip" to the LORD has really touched my heart now that I am grown.

Praising the LORD!
