Blessed

Recently, I know the Lord is doing a deeper work in my life. He has been reminding me how much I am loved. This is the verse He has given me during the past few days to meditate upon. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fear has not been made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18. This song, I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever can be found in this YouTube link.

These words, found on the CD cover of Blessed, 1 of Hillsong collections, inspire me:-

Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence; they will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man [and woman] whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. Passing through the valley of weeping (baca), they make it a place of springs; the early rain also fills [the pools] with blessings.

They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; each of them appears before God in Zion... For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [presents] grace and favour and [future] glory (honour, spendour, and heavenly bliss)!

No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts in You. [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving]! Psalm 84 (Amplified)
