The Light

Posted on by Marla
How dark is darkness? It’s black and void…
There’s no sight; no sound
No light to lead the way…
Searching for what, we cannot say…
For we’ve never seen the light of day…
Never knew the brightness, of a single light, to guide our unknowing way…
We stray…
Shielding our eyes from something just ahead…
An awakening from, the living dead…
Someone comes to carry the light…
Dispelling the darkness from our bed…
Squinting, we shake, our weary head…
A tiny light is shed…
What is this, we cry in delight…we can see within the dead of night…
Light!!
Our souls take flight…
No more groping or stumbling in the dark…
One tiny flame, one little spark, light enters the void
Darkness, destroyed
What is Light?
Not seeing, we see…
This new thing, how can it be…
We’ve stepped into the light
Now all has become so bright…
No more fear, no more fright…
Jesus stepped out of heaven, and brought us, Light!

John 8:12 English Standard Version (ESV) I Am the Light of the World
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12 The Message (MSG) You’re Missing God in All This
Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”
Inspired by Hanukkah, Bodie Thoene’s, ‘Things that matter!’

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
