Sin! Plain and simple

There is no need to be afraid

It's time to live in victory!

LIGHT

With HOPE

The BRIGHTEST OF LIGHTS

The Liar

Where true life is found

Proverbs 5:21: God knows... God sees!

Following the simple

Even in darkness...

"Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life." "

John 8:12 NASB

Even the darkness will be light-filled for those of us that follow Jesus.  Yes, even in dark times, we will have the light to move forward in victory; even in the toughest of times, we will have a smooth road to travel upon.

You are not stuck! Keep going forward

"Endurance builds character, which gives us hope that will never disappoint us."

Romans 5:4-5 CSV

Keep doing what you are doing; keep pressing forward in the darkness set before you because perseverance and endurance bring victory! My friend, there is light shining through on the other side, but you must be determined to push through until you see it.  You can do it.  You can be your own light, just focus on God's voice in your heart - the more you push through, the louder it will become; and the more you move forward in darkness, the brighter God's light will shine through for you.

Dark clouds

Rewards come from God

"The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness..."

1 Samuel 26:23

When you walk in, follow, and pursue righteousness and faithfulness, the rewards from God will be many; full of Life and filled with Light. 

Pride and wickedness will be silenced in due time

"Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows... the wicked will be silenced in darkness."

1 Samuel 2:3,9

Words: Keep them filled with light, keep them filled with life - keep them precious and few.  For, if words are continually spoken in arrogance, darkness, death, pride, and wickedness, then those words will soon be heard no more... God will make sure of it.

Today the chains are broken

“... “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from among you” ...”

Joshua 5:9

Today is a new day.  The old is gone, the chains are broken, the grass is green, and the light is ever-so-bright.  So open your eyes, hearts, minds, and souls, God has broken the chains of darkness from you and today begins a new day in his amazing freedom - a life which lives in his amazing glory.

The glory of the Lord

“...and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.”

Exodus 40:35

Wherever Christians gather to worship the Lord, his glory will fill it.

With God, no wall is too high

“For you will light my lamp; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.  For by you I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall.”

Psalm 18:28-29

When God is the focus of our every move and step, then no obstacle or darkness set before us will be able to keep us back from the blessings and victories awaiting us.

God is our strength, our endurance, our stronghold, our fortress.  Never let him out of focus... NEVER!!

If God says it then it is true.

"You are the salt of the earth... 

you are the light of the world..."

Matthew 5:13

If God says this about you, then it is true.  You shine, you illuminate beauty, grace, and light, so show it off and 

BE YOU!

A new light dawns

"...the people living in the darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."

Matthew 4:16

God placed this verse on my heart this morning, and the more I read it, the more this makes sense:  Those of us that have been living in darkness (weary, down, depressed, hopeless, sad, lonely, fearful, etc.) need to look up, step out, lift our heads, open our hearts, and breath in the Word of God.  It is our time to make some choices by turning onto a new path, grasping hold of Jesus, and begin to live again.  There is no more time for darkness, dark people, dark hearts, or dark minds.  Our time is now!  Yes, our time is right now!!  

So get a grip, take a chance, and do something with this life - something like this:

LIVE!!!!!
