You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do people light a lamp then hide it under a basket. They put it on a high lampstand;
Let your light so shine before all people so that others see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
We need to make a choice particularly in this me and my focus,success and acclaim driven world.
A group of us gathered and our Bible Study focussed exclusively on LIGHT. In many ways we all learnt some new lessons. In others we could see how society has swung completely away from LIGHT, BEAUTY, HOLINESS and the WORD.
What this means for all of is, with God’s Help, is to allow His Light to shine through us in EVERY area in our lives.
LET’S give Him permission in surrender and worship to lead and Guide.
I ask of Him that Beauty. Light, Peace ,A focus on His Salvation, be in my writing ,,,,be it fiction or truth, in my speaking, sharing and LIVING. I pray for His Help to season everything I do in craft and housework and lifestyle, with Grace. Forgiveness, and mercy. A-men
I ask of Him that all of you who take photos, write, dance, play sport, influence children, wherever you go will hold in your hearts this truth that Jesus Christ who Came as Saviour, died for our souls but needs us NOW to collectively LIGHT UP the DARKNESS.
HE IS T H E L I G H T but we are called to be ILLUMINATORS so others will see THE WAY. to HIM.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
