The Light that Remains

-

I feel heavy. A sadness swept over me. Life is short. We know not the day, nor the hour. A world in turmoil. A pain in my soul. The candle is burning low. This will all be over one way or another. I seek your peace. A peace the world couldn't give. You have eternity in your hands. When the lights of the world go out - Your light remains. Light of the world Take my burdens. Light of the world  Though days are numbered fill them with love. Light of the world  We will see you soon enough. Light of the world You still calm the raging sea! Light of the world  Your light is eternal. Your peace is eternal. You are eternal. Your light remains. Amen.

Testimony

Grace Alone. My heart yet afar off. Christ dies for me. My heart drawn to Him. Christ rises for me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. My heart broken. Christ comforts me. My heart angry at, the world, the flesh, the devil and even to my shame family and Him whom I have pierced. Christ calms me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. My heart yearning for a better world. Christ encourages me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. Lonely, My heart blessed with a beloved. Desiring a child, My heart blessed with a baby. My heart blessed with family. Grace Alone: Be still and know that I am God. *** Based on my Christian Testimony. Some verses of note -  John 3:16 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For w...

Passover

-
Image
Passover comes - Calvary is near. You are anointed in love. Prepared for burial - You know what is to come. Prophet, Priest, King Anointed for a purpose. 'Seek first the kingdom', you say to rich and poor. In this work you find satisfaction. Teach us to do what we can for you, with the oil of love. A broken jar, a broken saviour. You are sold for less. Your servants are ridiculed. Yet Lord, third day rising. You are our victory! Let freedom reign.

Life Wasn't a Series of Screens

Remember when life wasn't a series of screens? 'I' meant 'me' as in 'I am human' not machine. Smart wasn't a phone it was our Sunday best. Is this another rant? Well then, you know the rest... Heads didn't hang low unless we were being told...and even then... We looked up at the clouds and imagined shapes. Saw the autumn leaves and snowflakes, all so majestic, no mistake. Saw the Robins in the bushes and thought of Christmas. Waited to see bluebell walks and spring unleashed. Spent time outdoors at the beach. We tried to look people in the eye as we spoke unmuffled by this digital joke. Screen time or no time hadn't tried to replace family time or even 'quiet time' and 'rest time.' Brains switched off, not to reboot but to refresh. Down time wasn't interrupted by digital guests. Breathe in the air, take a walk, be blessed. Remember when life wasn't a series of screens? Because that scene wasn't even that long ago! If y...
