Abide in the Word

Image
Hello, I’m  Light .  Welcome to— In this Age of the Battle of Ideologies, abide in the Word. Abide in the Word of God, in the Son. Read the Word, and find Truth in Him. Allow the wisdom of the Word to be healing to your bones and refreshment to your soul. Allow the Word of God to seep into your heart in stillness instead of the words all around you. Align  and compare everything to the Word of God, looking at them side-by-side. Allow the Word, i.e. the Truth, and the revelation of the Word into which the Holy Spirit leads you, to be what you believe and share in freedom. Upon seeing each statement, ask yourself: “Is this truth? Does this align with God’s precepts? Do these words flow from God’s Spirit?” May the truth free, edify, affirm, still, guide, instruct, encourage, strengthen, and assure you. In this age of information, seek Truth for the sake of your own life and others’. Abide in the Word. Grace and peace,

Rock Bottom.

Hi, I’m Light! Welcome to— “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the deep (deathly) darkness and broke their bonds apart.” — ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107‬:‭13‬-‭14‬‬ God is love; kind and patient by nature, withholding love from none and thus kind to all— including the wicked and the unjust. (Luke 6:35) But some who are wicked, no matter the great levels of exposure they’ve had to God’s kindness and goodness and grace and the opportunities they have had to receive God’s salvation, refuse to repent. God loves them anyway. Unconditionally.  God does not delight in afflicting anyone. (Lamentations 3:33) Yet, He breaks the pride of the wicked through suffering (Psalm 107:10-15) , so that we will cry out to Him and enter sweet dependency on Him in repentance. He loves us, and so He allows us to suffer so that we may eventually depend on Him and be saved. His allowing suffering, as are all of His actions, is m...

Be Grateful for Suffering

Hello, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction Empathy, care and love have born this post. Its  aim isn’t to sternly and apathetically coerce you to develop a likability for pain or see suffering as innately good. Instead, it aims to encourage and inspire you to embrace suffering due to the good outcome it may have through its divine redemption. Upon reading this post, I pray that you will find joy in the downpour, strength in the struggle, and the ability to go through life with hope in God. “Be Grateful for Suffering.” Life won’t get easier—  there will always be ‘bumps in the road’,  but be grateful for the suffering.  God will use it for your good . . . 🎶  — T.ä Be grateful for the storm.  God will use a storm to show you how to rest in the midst of storms; that rest is not the absence of atmospheric turmoil, that peace is attainable in the midst of chaos.  Rest is good, but resting during a storm has a goodness that is irreplaceable. Be grateful for ...

Hello, I’m Light. Welcome to— A Love Letter  To Those Who Struggle  With Judging Others: “May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.” Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ God doesn’t condemn you for being judgmental, beloved. God loves you compassionately, understandingly,  graciously ,   tenderheartedly, unstoppable-y, unendingly,  more than you know.  God, your Father sees each and every one of your struggles, worries, frustrations and concerns, and knows the difficulties of overcoming being judgmental.

Instead, the Shepherd of your soul passionately longs for you to come boldly to the throne of grace— to expose your failur...

Intimacy and Authenticity With God

Hello, I’m  Light .  Welcome to— Introduction God made you for intimate relationship with Him; to know Him as “Abba, Father”, and to authentically be yourself with Him. This post is a short thought about  intimacy and authenticity with God . May you, through gaining knowledge of the truth, be liberated from performing and being ritualistic or religious in your approach to Him, free to be intimate and authentic with your Father. Intimacy & Authenticity With God Abba desires intimacy and authenticity in your relationship with Him. Relationship with God is foundational; it determines your approach to purpose fulfillment, prayer, fasting, and all other aspects of life in God. Though spiritual practices like prayer and reading the Word are necessary for developing intimacy with God, a relationship with Him is something you cannot replicate by performing religious practices, bound by doing what you think you should, how you think you should. Relationships are dynamic an...
