A Great Light

Thanks everyone for your comments regarding my last post "Light in the darkness". Since I wrote this last post, the Lord has been reminding me to pray for this world of darkness. There are wars and rumors of wars, hunger and unemployment, racism, loneliness, and a sense of emptiness in this world. Perhaps the poet Robert Frost worded it best when he wrote: "I have been acquainted with the night. I have walked in the rain and out of the rain. I have been acquainted with the night.

I can identify with Robert Frost about darkness and night. It has touched my life, and I have been acquainted with the night. The scripture affirms that the darkness is real and it is present in this world. But, it also affirms that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The Gospel of John records that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. The prophet Isaiah wrote, "people who walk in darkness have seen a great light." I praise the Lord that we can see a great light in darkness, as He is the light of the world. Hallelujah!

This post reminded me of the song, Light of the World! I am so glad He has shed His marvelous light on the Darkness that was in my life and the closer I walk with Him, the brighter the light and the lesser of darkness!!

Praise the Lord, that His light is getting brighter everyday.

Pia, I pray that you'll see the light very clearly every single day. Blessings to you dear.

Dear Umm Yasmin,

Thanks for your comment. The last words of the Qur'an in the dawn quoted are very nice. We do need to seek refuge with the Lord Jesus Christ, who overcame darkness through his life, death and resurrection.

Really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. They are mutual.

blessings,
Kitty

It is a blessing to hear from you regularly and to read of you as well and your insights from the Lord. I answered your question to me on my blog for today. God bless.

It's wonderful to see God's light, especially when it's reflected through people like yourself:-)

The Power that one has in praying is so little used . We think that how can a prayer help?

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Thank You Kitty for obeying the Voice of the Lord and praying for thoughs people

You make Me smile
With His Love
Doug
