BE A LIGHT=IN TODAY'S WORLD

BE A LIGHT=IN TODAY'S WORLD


We live in CONFLICTING-
Disappointing times=in which
There is NO PUBLIC UNITY


Where we can't even AGREE
On a leader=we can't LOOK
To political people
For SPIRITUAL DIRECTION


We need to be THE VOICE=
The voice for the world


WE need to be the LIGHT
IN OUR DARKNESS


“If you remove
From your midst oppression=
False accusation
And malicious speech


If you BESTOW
Your bread on the hungry
And SATISFY the afflicted


The LIGHT shall rise
For you in
The darkness


And the gloom
Shall BECOME for you
Like midday” Isaiah 58:9-10


ISAIAH tells us today
That when we are CONFRONTED
By HUMAN SUFFERING


Our call is NOT
To look to another
To fix it all


Our call is to
LEAVE our comfort zone=
STEP FORWARD


For the NEEDY=and embrace
Our brothers and sisters
In Christ


BE THE LIGHT=
In this world-
Be the light
In this dark dark world


“The Lord wraps himself-
IN LIGHT=
As with a garment


He stretches out
The heavens
Like a tent” Psalm 104:2


“The people
Walking in darkness
Have seen a GREAT LIGHT” Isaiah 9:2


“This is the verdict=
LIGHT has come
Into the world


But people loved darkness
Instead of LIGHT=
Because their deeds
Were evil” John 3:19


With the election=coming up
This year=there seems
NO END
To the political talk


We LIVE in a spiritually
Barren time=NO MATTER
Who wins the
Upcoming election


We were born to FIGHT
GOD'S BATTLES=and there is
NOTHING stopping us from
Being that LIGHT


In Matthew=chapter 5
Jesus gives us the BEATITUDES=
And he tells us
We are BLESSED


“BLESSED are
The PURE in heart
For they will see God” Matthew 5:8


This year=no matter
What else happens=
It is TIME for us


To step forward=and
BE=LIGHT
To our country=and our world


In the name of Jesus=and OUR FATHER=our ONGOING LIGHT
