I believe that what we have termed 'Christianity', that is true Christianity-- Christlikeness is, in reality, humanity, an uncorrupted humanity, and the ideal and peak of its existence; that humanity, uncorrupted, is demonstrated in acknowledgement of God as Creator, and His exaltation.  To me, dependency on God is as human as the anatomy of homosapiens that He, in His omniscience, calculatively formed; as human as His image of justice, compassion and forgiveness within us and, colossaly regrettably by mankind throughout time, the carnal nature. It is a shame that our minds are darkened; that we now seek truth beyond the truth. The truth is simple and foundational, and yet we seek to create and discover a new universe of complexities detached from the truth, the truth that 'is', and is Christ. That is, unless we decide to believe the truth that the simple truth has been made clear to us: Creation is proof of a creator; the sky was not crafted by human hands, nor did exi...

Hi Love.  Welcome to “Light Writes”! “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” — Ephesians 3:19 We can never fully understand God’s love (Eph. 3:19).  Nonetheless, we can seek and appreciate the understanding we do gain of it. A reflection of God’s love is demonstrated in the way He uses His sovereignty. He is able to do anything; to give you a desire to move in His Will without your consciousness of it, to shift anything into position, to bring two people into alignment, and yet He moves and shifts with grace and peace. His will and purpose prevail, and are unavoidable. This is apart of what characterizes His sovereignty. He is able to do anything but exist as one He is not.   God wills good, and causes only good.  How can we trust that the bad that happens is not caused by God? By trusting His character; His holiness, th...

Hello, I’m Light . Welcome to— Many Christians are mentally in bondage, avoiding sinning solely out of a fear of judgement and eternal damnation. Accepting our freedom, we have yet to. I suppose it is because we are of the belief that this is the intent of God.  Upon pondering this and considering the nature and character of God as love, I have resolved that I do not believe that the aforementioned is God's desire or intent for those who follow Him. A loving God, I reckon, would invite us to obey after having found sound reason for and benefit in obedience rather than merely in fleeing from a source of fear like wrath. (Wrath has already been poured out on Christ; there is none now to be received for those who believe in Him). Don’t you reckon so, too? Instead of being slaves in ignorance, our loving God invites us to be of the mindset of following and avoiding sin with reason and understanding.   When we understand why an action is good or bad, we live freely, and are bett...

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Hi, Love!  I’m Light.  Welcome to “Light Writes”.  Do you struggle with comparing yourself to others?  Allow me to share with you my experiential wisdom for overcoming comparison . The Metaphor Photo by  Ilona Kovalkova  on  Unsplash You may have rich, bare soil, while another has a garden of roses.  Your soil is immensely valuable .  Tragically however, when you compare your soil to another’s admirable roses, you forget how valuable your soil is. You lose sight of what could come of your soil should you till it— nourish it, fertilize it, remove any weeds present, and sow good seeds.  The roses and soil can be likened to another’s life and your own.   Comparing your life to another’s blinds you from the limitless possibilities of what your life could be like should you nourish your soul, cease self-hatred and any other thing that is unfavorable for growth and flourishing in all aspects, and sow g...
