The Light

Light doesn’t have to say, “Look at me, I’m the light!”
It doesn’t speak at all…and yet
As it appears it illuminates everything and everyone within its presence…
The light shines even brighter in the dark!
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world!”
He vanquished the darkness…
God said, “Let there be light!”
Then light burst through the darkness causing everything to be seen that was hidden…
Overpowering shadows; breaking barriers through the blackness of night…
Giving the blind; sight…
And every living thing new life…
What once was unseen is now fully exposed
No more groping or staggering in the dark, no more fear of what’s not seen, the light with a trillion streaming beams is spread throughout all living things…
No stumbling to find your way…
No vain imaginations of terror nipping at your thoughts, not, even in the day…
God’s light is and will always remain even when it rains!
The light brings life, freshness and goodness, to see and to be fully seen…
No longer afraid to walk in the night nor stumble in the day…
Not a shred of doubt, nor deaths final grip
Can take the light away…
No demon from hell, no sickness, no hurt nor pain, no pride, no flesh nor power nor principality can destroy the light!
God said, let there be…light…
Light is eternal,
For Jesus, is, the light…
Where light shines, darkness cannot enter…
Be children of the light!
