Light Up the Darkness



"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." - II Corinthians 4:6

Dear Friends,

God commanded the light to shine!  Almighty God.  He commanded the light to shine out of darkness. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Glory! This light, His light shines in the heart of every born again believer.  He is the Bright and Morning Star!  The illumination of the the light of the Word of God brings knowledge. The knowledge of His will as revealed  through Jesus Christ allows us to view the Majestic grace of God. Hallelujah!

As I read and meditate on II Corinthians 4:6 I am encouraged and seek to encourage you today to always remember you are connected to a Power source that cannot be depleted.  There is never a power failure with God.  There is no need for a back up generator. We do not have to seek multiple light sources.  He is All Power.  Power Full.  He is the True Light. God has commanded the light in our hearts to shine.  "Jesus gave me a little light and He told me to let it shine."

On those day when darkness surrounds you remember God has commanded the light to shine out of darkness.  There is no man or woman that can prevail or withstand God.  

Today, I looked  all around me and saw shadows of darkness. I could feel the very weight of them in my soul.  Yet, in my heart  God's word continued to lift me through His Holy Spirit. He kept  reminding  me that darkness has no power over me. Darkness has no power over those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior.

Walk in the light. It's a beautiful light. Jesus. Yes. It's Jesus. Shining in your heart.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
