IN A DARK WORLD=GOD IS THE LIGHT

IN A DARK WORLD=
GOD IS THE LIGHT




We do the BEST
That we can
To avoid
The dark times
In life


But the TRUTH is
We all have
Dark times
In life


In those dark times
In a dark world


GOD IS THE LIGHT


“For you darkness itself
Is not dark


And night shines
As the day” Psalm 139:12


“You Lord-
KEEP my lamp burning


My God TURNS
My darkness into light” Psalm 18:28


The dark times
In life
Are unavoidable


They come
To us all


The loss of health
The death of a child-parent-
Or family member-or a friend


Financial difficulty


THE LIGHT of God
The LIGHT of Jesus
SHINING on us


Makes the difference
Whether we can go on
Or not


“THE LORD is my light
And my salvation
Whom shall I fear?


The Lord is
The STRONGHOLD of my life-
Of whom
Shall I be afraid” Psalm 27:1


“WHEN Jesus spoke again-
To the people-He said


'I am the LIGHT
Of the world


WHOEVER follows me
Will NEVER walk
In darkness


But will have
THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12


And that is the DIFFERENCE
Between those of us
Who can move forward
WHEN dark times come


And those who cannot


ACCEPTING
THE LIGHT OF GOD


Some people
Want to BLAME God
When darkness and pain
Befalls them


And some of us KNOW
That dark times fall
On us all
At one time on another


And that we can
STILL move forward
With and in
THE LIGHT OF GOD


In this dark dark world
God is the light
Jesus is the light


They show us
HOW we can still
LIVE in
The GRACE of God


“For the law
Was given through Moses


GRACE AND TRUTH
Came through Jesus Christ” John 1:17


“The night is
Nearly over


The day
Is almost here


So let us
Put aside
The deeds of darkness
And put on


THE ARMOR OF LIGHT” Romans 13:12


God is the light
Jesus is the light
In a dark world


What makes
All the difference


Is that
We are CONVINCED
That God


In the person of Jesus
KNEW the darkness
Of this life


And survived


And because of this
Because of him


EVERY dark space
In life


Has become
A SOURCE OF HOPE-
REDEMPTION-and LIGHT


He is the LIVING HOPE
That darkness brings
He is the


PROMISE OF NEW LIFE
IN US
