Light of the World
Hey, Doug Dial here with 1 minute of hope.

Growing up in The County in Northern Maine in the country, there were no streetlamps outside our windows. Did I mention at night it was extremely DARK? The kind where you honestly cannot see the hand right in front of your face. Suffocating darkness.

The only thing darker is the spiritual wickedness we can feel throughout our land at this very hour. Forces are at work to snuff out the truth and the light.

Then Jesus said, “I am the light of the world and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.” John 8:12 TPT

♫ Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,

♫ Trying to follow our Savior and King,

♫ Shaping our lives by His blessed example,

♫ Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

Refrain:

♫ How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,

♫ Stepping in the light, Stepping in the light;

♫ How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,

♫ Led in paths of light. – E. E. Hewitt

Dear one, step into the light found in God’s holy Word the Bible and you’ll NEVER walk in darkness!

Hey, Doug Dial here with 1 minute of hope.

If you have ever loaded coffee beans into a coffee grinder/maker then you will understand this: the more coffee beans you place INTO the coffee maker, the more … JOLT … you’re gonna get out the other side. I know. I KNOW! You’re probably reaching for MORE coffee as we speak.

More stuff. More things. More clutter. Do we really need any more?

YES!

♫ I want more of Jesus, more and more and more

♫ I want more of Jesus than I ever had before

♫ I want more of His great love, rich and full and free

♫ I want more of Jesus so I’ll give Him more of me

Seek more of his strength! Seek more of him! Let’s always be seeking the light of his face. Psalm 105:4

MORE!

Light my Night
God, shine forth — into my night.

Dispel all worries — shine your light.

God, shine forth — break every chain.

Scatter the darkness — once again.

God, shine forth — upon the waters.

Drown me Lord — in what truly matters.

From Rain to Sun
From FEATURED blogger of the week Brian Jewell

Rain beats its rhymed tones along my path.

Each drop weathers my heart.

It’s the education of life, coupled with understanding.

Clasped to my ankle is the ball and chain of pain, pride, regret and resentment.

Each link rusted but not weakened.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

The once arid ground is now a swampland of mud and mire.

The weight I drag is covered in sludge and slows my footfalls.

Here in the valley of darkness I am consumed by the weight of my sin.

Guilt stained and tattered cloths now cover my emaciated skeleton.

My heart yearns for relief from the flame that the rain does not quench.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Out of breath, out of strength, out of desire I fall face first into the muck and cry out.

My cries seem to be engulfed in the ink-soaked sky.

I try to scream, only to hear no words.

Weak, decimated, broken, and defeated I gasp into the stale air, help.

I feel a long forgotten yet strangely familiar presence around me.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Still weak, weary and warn I turn my face forward.

From my prone position I see a lone wooden beam-stained crimson.

Lilies adorn the ground this solitary piece of wood is surrounded by.

I know that my words in this place are worthless in the presence of His sacrifice.

Yet, He knows the tears I shed in silence scream repentance in His ears.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

He gently, and lovingly, extends His hand to this shell of His beloved creation.

He hands me His robe to replace my wretched rags of a life spent in a sewer.

He feeds me from His never-ending abundance.

Though He gives me these gifts freely, He has transformed my lifeless heart with His throne.

I am His beloved bride now strong, clean and I live in His light.

Light my Night
photo by Rev. Gary Thompson

God … shine forth … into my night.

Dispel … all worries … shine Your light.

God … shine forth … break every chain.

Scatter … my darkness … once again.

God … shine forth … upon the waters.

Drown … me Lord … in what truly matters.

You are my lamp, oh Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. Psalm 22:20

In My Darkest Hour
oft times in my darkest hour

i cannot find my God

groping here and searching there

through all life’s doubts and fog

“fear not weary pilgrim”

He whispers to my heart

“recall the Word I spoke to you

‘I never will depart’”
