There\u2019s darkness, so dark; that the light cannot be seen<\/h6>\n
Lean in closer, let me tell you what I mean\u2026<\/h6>\n
We are born into this earth empty and void\u2026<\/h6>\n
Living, not knowing the reason why, we only survive<\/h6>\n
Physically our minds are in-tacked and our bodies they comply<\/h6>\n
Thinking we are living, but never asking why\u2026<\/h6>\n
God\u2019s Spirit hovers over us, \u201cStep into the light!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Fear and unbelief hold us tight\u2026<\/h6>\n
But God said, \u201cLet, there, be, LIGHT!\u201d<\/h6>\n
A light so bright that it separates the darkness from the night<\/h6>\n
Where once we stumbled and fumbled about<\/h6>\n
The light reveals a marvelous sight\u2026<\/h6>\n
New breath breathed, filling every molecule of our soul<\/h6>\n
Eyes wide open what majesty we behold\u2026<\/h6>\n
Songs of praise and gratitude fill every darkened room<\/h6>\n
We\u2019ve stepped into the light and now we are consumed\u2026<\/h6>\n
Where once all we could see, was darkness, hopelessness and doom<\/h6>\n
Light has come and given us new hope, new life, we\u2019re renewed\u2026<\/h6>\n
Darkness is the dwelling place where nothing thrives or grows<\/h6>\n
Over the deep, bottomless pit, darkness screams to keep our soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
Holy Spirit hovers near, he gently whispers in our ear\u2026<\/h6>\n
\u201cCome on dear child, step into the light!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Abraham, Jacob, and Mary too, John, Mark and Bartholomew<\/h6>\n
Matthew, Peter, Stephen and Paul, along with others, yes, they all, stepped into the light!<\/h6>\n
And God saw that it was good!<\/em><\/h6>\n
When you step into the light you\u2019ll fully understand\u2026<\/h6>\n
Darkness is dark\u2026But Light is life!!!<\/h6>\n
Step into the Light!!<\/h6>\n
~Marla Shaw O\u2019Neill October 29, 2018<\/h6>\n
Genesis 1:2-4 New International Version (NIV) <\/em><\/strong>The Beginning<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
\u2026Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.<\/em><\/h6>\n
And God said, \u201cLet there be light,\u201d and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.<\/em><\/h6>\n
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!<\/span><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
