                                    Peace Light                    
Psalm 56:13
For You have delivered my soul from death. Have
You not delivered my feet from falling, that I may
walk before God in the Light of the living?  (NKJ)

     There is one thing that human beings do quite well and it's living blindly in this dark world.  We tend to stumble around in the darkness searching for the easiest path to a victorious life.  But sooner or later we discover that without the proper lighting and guidance, all paths but one are a dead end. And after dead end after dead end, many of us simply give up our search for the good and happy life that ends so quickly. And when we give up it can get really dark and awfully lonely.  And the darker it gets, the lonelier we are, and the lonelier we get the darker it becomes.  And when we are dark and lonely, it is so easy to simply lose our appetite for living and focus on the final dead end.  But this short life-journey doesn't have to dead end in darkness and despair, for when we embrace the Light of God, our paths get brighter and brighter, and we are never alone.
     Most people will never find their way out of the darkness because they don't know they are living in darkness.  Many people choose to remain in the darkness because they love their sin too much.   Some are afraid of the Light and fear it is just another dead end.  But many who are exposed to the Light of God's amazing grace will walk down this new path and discover a whole new meaning with a whole new purpose.  And even though their lives don't always get any easier, they know their Guide will get them safely through to the other side. There will be plenty challenges on this path to Heaven and when the darkness of the world is beating at the door of your heart to get back in, your Savior is right there to keep that door shut so you can continue safely on your way.  And the moment you step out of this life and into Heaven you will instantly know that it was well worth the difficult journey. 

                                        A Whisper of Hope                        
Receive My Peace, dear child...and your deepest needs will be fulfilled.  I, the Prince of Peace, will pour Myself into your neediness, for My abundance and your emptiness are a perfect match.  My Peace will live and grow in you forever.

Hosea 14:9
Let those who are wise understand these things.  Let those
who are discerning listen carefully.  The paths of the LORD
are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in
them.  But sinners stumble and fall along the way.  (NLT)

                         Peace I leave you. My peace I give you.   
                                               (John 14:27)
