HIS LIGHT


God brings to light all the evil desires
And He makes known all deceit of the heart.
For in the presence of His Holy Purity
All of the darkness must flee and depart.
He will reveal all the wicked intentions.
He will reveal the real motives inside.
For in the presence of His Power and Majesty
He will reveal all, and no one can hide.
And God will frustrate the private agendas
And He will thwart every devious plan
For in the presence of God’s Holy Will
What are the lofty plans of man?
If there’s repentance and total surrender
He’ll cleanse the soul with His perfect Light.
For in the presence of His Loving kindness
There’s healing, and cleansing, then doing what’s right.
For once we did live in the darkness of sin
But now we are bathed in the Light of our Lord!
The fruit of the Light is to live in His goodness,
Be filled with His Spirit and live by His Word.

This should be posted in every jailhouse and death row chambers....incredibly written!! Once again, I'm in awe. And as for your 'criticism' post below this...that too is an eye opener. Thing is, a lot of criticism is handed out without thinking of how hurtful it can be. Those who criticize should think first, and if it's helpful, then yes...give it in a gentler, kinder way.

Hope your week is off to a grand beginning!!

"Whom the Lord loves, He chastens." It's not pleasant to see ourselves as He sees us, but I'm so glad He desires to make us more like Him. An obedient, surrendered heart is what He desires - and makes possible!

Beautiful poem!

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later.

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
