Light in Darkness

Light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehend it not. 

John 1:5

Think of all the darkness or any evil force that has come against us.

It is only as we put our faith and trust in Him, letting God's light shine though us, 

that we are able to defeat the darkness or evil force that has come against us. 

The bible says in Ephesians 3:18

that we may be able to comprehend with all the saints 

what is the breadth and length and depth and height of the
 love of Christ,

and to know the love of Christ.

The love of Christ has no length, no depth, and no height, and no breadth 

that his light cannot shine though.

And that same light that shines in darkness can shine bright 

in every area of our lives,
putting out that evil force of darkness.

The early church in the book of Acts tells us 

how these twelve disciples let God's love flow through them. 

Each of them had a great testimony of this love.

Can we do the same in this Twenty-First Century? 

The answer  --- Are we willing to pay the price, go the second mile?

God is encouraging us today to let our light shine bright. 

All these forces of darkness cannot stop God from His work in our lives. 

Let this darkness not stop us from continuing the desire to fulfill

 the purpose for which we were created. 

Mother's Day Love

One of my old hymns that I loved playing and singing was,

 "What a friend we have in Jesus."

The hymn says;

 With all our grief and sins to bear.

 What a privilege to carry everything to the Lord in prayer. 

What a great truth of being able to carry everything to God in prayer. 

Now, as I look back over the many years of singing

 and believing the words of the hymn,

 I am so very grateful. 

How I have focussed many times on Him,

 taking my attention off myself, 

and placing it on the one who sacrificed 

His great love for me.

This has enriched my life many times.

Take courage.

 He will do the same for you. 

Just give him your time, 

and see the many ways 

He will make your life such a blessing, 

that you and your children and grandchildren

 will benefit from seeing a big change in you.

I believe this change in you and in your family 

will develop into an expereince so wonderful 

you will all have a 

very happy Mother's Day.

Don't forget to thank your mother

 for all the many wonderful things she has done over the year.

2 Timothy one verse five tells us that 

Timothy had a godly mother and a wonderful grandmother. 

They showed much love toward Timothy,

and it showed in his life. 

Let's be thankful for our prayer warriors of the faith.

Have a Happy Mother's Day!
