"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all."
I read the verse for this morning, and looked up out the window and this is what I saw! It's a perfect day for God's bright truth to shine in on me by his Word! :) What a perfect verse and perfect weather - rainy, dark, windy, unwelcoming outside - to give perfect meaning to the dire need we have for Light! I love a day like this now and again, to stay in and be cozy, work on projects, snuggle up with a book, do some cooking and baking, you know. But after a time, I long for sunshine and blue skies, the clarity and purity of a bright and shiny day. God made us in his likeness, and I think our souls relate much to our moods when darkness pervades...we long for Light and purity. We cannot survive without it. We die letting the darkness of sin and a dirty conscience fill our days and weeks. We NEED the regular and Light and cleansing power of God's perfect grace to enliven us. What energy and joy I feel on a beautiful day outside - and the same is true, yet greater is the joy and energy Christ fills me with when I have seen His Light and been filled by it once again.
Creation shows God's power, I believe that :)
Thank you Lord, for your imagery outside my window today! Send us all your guiding, holy Light today despite whatever "weather" our souls are experiencing. We need you!
Love in Him,
Cait
