How bright is the Light of the indwelling Christ in us being revealed in this dark world?
Cols 2>26,27. N.K.J. The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations has now been revealed to His Saints.
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the Glory of this mystery among the gentiles: which is Christ in you – the Hope of Glory.
Surrender of our lives gives this Light a clearer illumination.
I SURRENDER ALL.
When walking with Jesus is our main life focus and all other ‘things’ are prayerfully allocated to their correct places time wise, and for the illumination of our minds.
With Word reading,prayer, and time with HIM all enjoyed, then from us should radiate this Light.
It may be with the brightness of our smile or the gentle kindness of a touch. From the sparkle of Joy in our eyes and loving compassion of our words.
All of these are indicators of the Christ-Light within.
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.
Amen Faye, may His Light shine in and through us bringing His Divine hope to all.
