Light For the Path

Good Morning Everyone,

Everyday there is a important commodity all of us need and
use readily. Light, we all need light. It is a medical fact
that those that do not get enough light often suffer
from more depression and a actual disorder because
of lack of sunlight. It is also known that those who do
not get enough sunlight are very low on Vitamin D,
which makes all parts of our body function better, and our
bodies work more efficiently just because we walk in light.

I am reminded that our soul needs light. We need light
for our way, to know what to do, where to go. We need
light shone upon our problems so we can sort through
them, figure them out and move on. Or just give them
to God until we are able to do something, or he works
it out for us in his timing. It is too hard to do it alone,
not knowing what is ahead or how to go through it.
Feeling alone and in the dark have to be two of
the worst feelings in the world.

Lack of light in your soul means one thing: darkness.
No one wants to abide in darkness if they love God.
We want his light shed upon our soul, all things
illuminated so there is nothing hidden, everything
surrendered, everything in the open, everything
lit by the light of his face shining on us, bringing
hope, fresh inspiration, mercy and strength for the day.

How many of you would want to be in total darkness
with no known end to it? Do you think our soul should be
darkened? It causes no end of grief in our lives
when we do not allow God to dwell in us in light and truth.
We go down paths we never would have otherwise,
and perhaps even get companions or mates that lead
us further into darkness.


Remember if you do not choose to open the door,
light will not come in. You have a choice.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105
A important concept, God's word sheds light on
our path and in our hearts, so we know
where to go, and who to be around, and what
path to take. It is a must!

Let us go a step further in this thought process:
And this is the condemnation that the light has
come into the world and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light
and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should
be exposed. But he who does the TRUTH comes
to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen,
that they may have been done in God.
John 3:19-21

My friends, what this is saying is that even though
we think our deeds are hidden to God, and in some
perverse way we think we can hide things from him,
nothing is hidden to Him. What He wants from us
is surrender, submission. He wants all things
to be open before him.. and He wants to transform
us into a light for this world to see Jesus in us.

Life is short, this is our mission, to tell everyone we
meet the gospel, and to let his light shine through us,
so that they may see our good works and glorify our
Father who is in heaven.

Are you withholding something from God? Are you hiding
secret sins or secret habits? Do you remember when you
were a child and you hid things from your parents? For
a time you thought you were getting away with something
and then you begin to feel guilty, and perhaps even had to lie
to cover up what you were doing. Soon, it wasn't a good
feeling at all, and it was a even worse feeling when your
parents discovered what you had been doing.

My friends, we are all accountable to God. This life is
but a vapor, it passes so quickly. If someone had you
repeat the words "I Am Accountable to God" would
you think more about what that means? It is eternal
in it's scope. Far beyond anything else in this life.

My friends, today, if you are withholding from God,
and doing things you know you should not, or have
done them in the past. Take time to get on your knees
and repent of them to your Savior. Tell him each of
them, ask His forgiveness. He has promised if we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive them
and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Take time to pray and ask him to shed light in your heart
and in your life so you may please him in all you say and do.
This prepares you not only for this life, but for the next one
my friends. Nothing is more vital to your spiritual life.

Only one life, will soon be past,
Only what is done for Christ will last.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord,
walk as children of light! For the fruit of the spirit is
in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. Finding out
what is acceptable to the Lord. And have NO
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those
things which are done by them in secret. But ALL
things that are exposed are made manifest by the light,
for whatever makes manifest is light.
Therefore He says: Awake you who sleep.
Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.
Ephesians 5:8:14

God will bring you from darkness into light.
He will bring you from spiritual death to spiritual life,
And He will sustain you, He will guide you, and strengthen
you and never leave you alone, you will never face things
alone. Just surrender to him, repent, and receive his salvation
and forgiveness.

Remember

Love,
