Light

1 John 1:5

God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.

Ephesians 5:8

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light…

Light is a curious thing. Here are some really cool facts:

  1. It’s the fastest thing in our known universe.
  2. It travels in a straight path.
  3. It does not bend.
  4. It is visible and invisible (due to our eye limitations).
  5. When it hits something it does one of three things:

          Bounces off,

          gets soaked up,

          or passes through.

  1. It can only be seen when it hits something, thus why empty space is dark.

Especially in “light” of the verses at the top. Think about God describing Himself as Light…

  1. He is the fastest! No one else is omni-present! Now that’s fast!
  2. AND 3. God is God. There is no change in Him, EVER. He was, is and always will be exactly Who He is today. He does not bend, He is straight in character.
  3. He is visible and invisible. (Romans 1:20) He shows Himself to us in many ways: Through creation, through His work in our lives, through others, through His Word. Yet, He remains invisible.
  4. When God “hits” someone, they will do one of three things with Him. People will hear about God and His love and it just bounces right off of them. Or they hear and soak it all in, a changed life is the result. Or, upon hearing about God’s love it passes through them; it may affect them for the moment, but it doesn’t really stick.
  5. There is NO EMPTINESS IN GOD. Nothing lacking, nothing needy, no void, because God “hits” everything! This resonates with me most because this is a real struggle for many, just feeling empty at times. When God hits us, and He does regularly, daily, we cannot possibly be truly empty.

First– He is light and in Him is no darkness, no emptiness. (1 John 1:5)

Second– His Spirit lives within us, so there can be no emptiness, no darkness. (2 Cor. 1:22) Finally– He has promised to be with us ALWAYS! (Hebrews 13:5b)

So, when the empty moments come, they are a lie from the father of lies!

Call it what it is and claim the truth!

Light is a curious thing, PRAISE GOD that HE IS LIGHT!

And no darkness, whether physical, mental, spiritual or emotional can stand once He is present!

Daily Visit

I’m meeting a group of friends tomorrow for lunch.  We get together once a month to catch up.  It’s a lot of fun but took a lot of planning to coordinate everyone’s schedule.  We asked one person to head up the planning of place, date, and time.  Lots of emails, phone calls, date changing, etc.  Then we have transportation planning, to make sure everyone has a way to get there.

When we finally meet at the restaurant,

there’s lots of laughing,

sharing life events,

updates on our families and other friends,

maybe discussion of current events,

sometimes a tear or two,

and anything else that comes up. 

It’s a lot of work to get this group together,

but so worth it!

I have another friend who I try to meet with daily to catch up.  Sometimes it takes a lot of planning to coordinate my schedule.  I’m the one who has to take charge of setting a place, date, and time.  No need for emails, phone calls, or date changing.  I don’t have to worry about transportation because He’s always right where I am.

When I finally get together with Him,

there’s lots of laughing (at myself!),

sharing my life events,

updates on my family and friends, with requests and thank-yous,

maybe some discussion of current events with lots of whys?

sometimes a tear or two

and anything else that comes up. 

Sometimes it’s a lot of work to get us together, always on my part, never His!,

but so worth it!

Psalm 145:18   The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.

James 4:8   Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Thank you Lord, for my daily visit.

Women’s Get-Away Weekend

We had a fabulous, worship and fellowship time at Black Rock Retreat Center in Quarryville, Pennsylvania.

GOD—He never changes!  “Jesus Christ IS the same yesterday and today and forever.” Because He never changes, we can know important unchanging truths about…Who He is, What He wants, How He works, How He relates to me:  “My God is Still the Same”.

“Great time with women of faith, wonderful fellowship, supreme bible teaching.”

“Thank you to everyone that planned this weekend.  It was awesome.  And thank you for making me feel appreciated and loved!”

“I absolutely would recommend this conference.  Everyone feels like family and I feel God’s presence and love when I’m here.”

“I would recommend this conference in a heartbeat!  What a fabulous time of friendship, rest, encouragement, faith building, and truth building.  Supportive sisters, united together for the same purpose; to grow, walk and develop our relationship with God.”

Please consider joining us next year. We look forward to serving you!
