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,

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...

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.
