I suddenly realized what the first few verses in the first chapter of John means when it says that the word became flesh and is the light that lights every man that comes into the world. In death that light goes out of the man! Paul said for me to live is Christ! As long as I am alive and am following Christ I am the light of the world! Now I don’t mean just me but everyone who is following Christ has the light. Actually life is light. What we do with that light is up to us. As for me I am finally in a place where I know that I know that Christ is my life and just like it says in
Romans 2:28-29
A man is not a Jew (Christian)if he is only one outwardly. No, a man is a Jew (Christian) if he is one inwardly; in the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.
I finally want the praise that comes from God! It’s okay if people like me but no one loves me like Jesus! No one else has ever said I will never leave you or forsake you. No one else knows me and and knows how sinful I can be at times. Yet loves me and forgives me when I come with a repentant Heart! So I come asking Him to forgive me for wanting release from the sorrows of life. And asking Him to give me knowledge of His will for me and the power to carry out His will for me with the courage,strength,faith and grace that only He can give me! Praise His Name!
