Step into the Light

There’s darkness, so dark; that the light cannot be seen

Lean in closer, let me tell you what I mean…

We are born into this earth empty and void…

Living, not knowing the reason why, we only survive

Physically our minds are in-tacked and our bodies they comply

Thinking we are living, but never asking why…

God’s Spirit hovers over us, “Step into the light!”

Fear and unbelief hold us tight…

But God said, “Let, there, be, LIGHT!”

A light so bright that it separates the darkness from the night

Where once we stumbled and fumbled about

The light reveals a marvelous sight…

New breath breathed, filling every molecule of our soul

Eyes wide open what majesty we behold…

Songs of praise and gratitude fill every darkened room

We’ve stepped into the light and now we are consumed…

Where once all we could see, was darkness, hopelessness and doom

Light has come and given us new hope, new life, we’re renewed…

Darkness is the dwelling place where nothing thrives or grows

Over the deep, bottomless pit, darkness screams to keep our soul…

Holy Spirit hovers near, he gently whispers in our ear…

“Come on dear child, step into the light!”

Abraham, Jacob, and Mary too, John, Mark and Bartholomew

Matthew, Peter, Stephen and Paul, along with others, yes, they all, stepped into the light!

And God saw that it was good!

When you step into the light you’ll fully understand…

Darkness is dark…But Light is life!!!

Step into the Light!!

Genesis 1:2-4 New International Version (NIV) The Beginning

…Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

About a week ago I experienced something I had not experienced before…my sugar went extremely low and all I could see was this bright light it blocked out everything. Bob was at work and I was alone, so I had to force myself to walk to the kitchen for some orange juice…I could see forms around the light but not the center of the object…I knew what it must be like to be blind; only instead of darkness there was bright light. I found the OJ and I knew where the glasses were so I reached for a glass not being able to see it…I used my finger as a guide to pour into the glass, shaking the whole time because of the low…I drank a few sips, not panicking and drinking to much…and in a little while my sight came back and my sugar came up and life was calm again. Yesterday morning…God used that experience to say to me… “Marla tell them to Step into the Light!” He is the Light and he is the one who guides us and directs us even when we cannot see…He helps us to find the way!!! In him there is no darkness…we don’t have to be afraid just walk in the light!
