The Way To the Light <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems To Cross Thin Ice,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So We Hesitate …<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then it is dark again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 119:130<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 5:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light ….<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving into the Light should be a simple thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just choose your steps on the path towards the Light, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the devil has also sorts of false lights,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

luring us into dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the Light of Christ requires more than just walking,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it requires right hearts and minds and spirits,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all which we are completely incapable of attaining on our own,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if ever,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need Christ to show us the way,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and even then<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we need the Spirit to transform our hearts, minds, and spirits so that we can follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And still we fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Christ comes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

into our darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and brings the Light<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to guide us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we hope we will live in the Light<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but we know from the past we will choose to wander<\/p>\n\n\n\n

back into the darkness all too soon (like right now)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ will need to come again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

again … ad infinitum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
