Is It Really Dark?

Try this for me when you get time...

When the sun goes down, turn off all the lights in the house.

Take a minute and sit in a room.

When your ready, open your eyes.

Spend a few moments focusing your eyes.

Take note of what you see.

I have done this many times and it really paints a wonderful 

picture that I will try to put into words.

Unless you are buried underground there is always light.

It may not be the brightest of light, but there is light.

The Lord made it that way. One light to govern the day.

And one light to govern the night. 

In order to pick up on the light, we need to spend a few

moments waiting for our eyes to adjust.

 When you look at the picture posted above, it really 

speaks to the type of light we see.

I purposefully removed the dominate light in the picture 

in order to see the more subtle light that we don't normally focus on. 

Playing around with the light can sometimes give unexpected results!

There is a Light that someday will replace the need for any other light. 

One that will make all other lights look dark!

Revelation 21:22-25 (esv)

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the
Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it,

for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 

By its light will the nations walk, 

and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, 

and its gates will never be shut by day
— and there will be no night there.

We have the ability to know this Light and see it

before all other light is made dark.

Jesus is the Light I speak of.

You can know Him today! His gift of life is free
and available to all! No matter what you have done.

Don't stay in the dark!
Focus your eyes on the Light of the world, Jesus Christ!
He is all the light you need in this dark world.


 

Light So Bright!

Light So Bright!

Upon entering your home at night, what is the first thing you do?

If you are like most, you reach for the light switch.

We all have an inherent need to find light.

Do an experiment with me, please. It will take some time,

and you will need to do it more than once. 

But I truly believe it will drive home the point on what we are

truly searching for..

Do it indoors or outside. The only rule is, your eyes must be closed!

As you walk with your eyes closed, which way are you looking?

Left, Right, Up, or Down?

I have found after doing this over and over that my entire head

tends to look upward... I asked myself why am I always looking up?

The answer is simple.

We are searching for the Lord.

We were created to have a relationship with Him! 

You will search your entire life for Him.

The light of men is the Lord.

He shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it!

John 1:1-5

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him, and without him 

was not any thing made that was made. 

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

Give this experiment an honest try.

I truly believe our eyes always will divert to the Lord. Up!

He is our Light!

Our path is known only through Him.

No One else can show the way to redemption.

Forgiveness is in the Lord!

Accept Him and follow Him!

He is the Light of your path!

Provided Paths

There is a path where every step you take is with the Lord.

There is also a path where every step you take requires the 

Lord to reach out and rescue you.

If you are walking with the Lord, you will stumble, trip, or even fall.

But the Lord is right there. And you will be reaching for Him when you fall.

Don't worry, He is faithful to catch us and to pick us up!

If you are not walking with the Lord you wont be reaching out

for Him when you fall. Your hands will be out in front of you

in order to break your fall. This will undoubtably will leave

one frustrated, bruised, and questioning every step.

There is nothing like being picked up from a fall,

being brushed off by the Lord,

and set back up your feet by His loving hands!

There is however, nothing worse than falling, feeling totally alone

with no one there who cares enough to see if you are alright.

You don't have to feel alone!

Someone does care!

The Lord will rescue you no matter where you are,

no matter how dirty or bruised.

Trust in the Lord. Let Him into your heart and life!

Live your life to please Him, and Him alone!

Then life will have purpose, meaning, direction, protection,

and you will never again feel alone!

Walk with the Lord on the path He has set before you!

Don't walk away from Him!

The road will be rocky and treacherous, and you will need rescue!

But the road He has for you will shape you and mold you into His image.

It will teach you more about the Lord,

and it will leave wanting more of Him!

Respond, Trust, and Obey!

It will be the best decision you will ever make!
