His perfect love

I have gotten behind on these for some reason. I can go back to this week, but not sure how to get further back.

From Max Lucado's Daily Devotional

His Perfect Love

Jesus loves us too much to leave us in doubt about his grace. His "perfect love expels all fear!" (1 John 4:18).

If God loved us with an imperfect love, we would have high cause to worry. Imperfect love keeps a list of sins and consults it often. God keeps no list of our wrongs. His love casts out fear because he casts out our sin. Tether your heart to this promise, and tighten the knot. Remember the words of John's epistle: "If our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things" (1 John 3:20).

When you feel unforgiven, evict the feelings. Emotions don't get a vote. Go back to Scripture. God's Word holds rank over self-criticism and self-doubt. Do you know God's grace? Then you can love boldly and live robustly. Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace!
