Darkness

When the Light is Fading and the Darkness Will Not Lift

fading light

Sometimes the darkness seems to be winning – and you wonder if there is light to be found.

Sometimes it is a chore just to lift your head and trudge through the day and you wonder if there is any meaning to be had.

Sometimes the storm seems too daunting – the pressure too much – the loss too hard.

In the darkness we can easily lose perspective and our enemy seeks to destroy…

but…

But this I call to mind and therefore I have hope – The Steadfast Love of the Lord NEVER CEASES….

His Mercies are NEW every Morning.
Great is His Faithfulness.

Whom have I in heaven but YOU?
There is nothing I desire besides YOU

My heart and my flesh my fail but God is the Strength of my Heart and my Portion forever.

Even at the end of your rope when your grip is fading God is holding on – He is there like a strong tower to run into and be saved.

Don’t let despair overcome – rest in the one who has overcome death itself – cast your cares on Him – He Cares For You.

‘Twas the night before Christmas – no not the one with tinsel and bows and Christmas trees – the one over 2000 years ago. Almost no one knew what was coming and even those that had an inkling did not understand the magnitude of the moment.

For most people it was just an ordinary night. No baited breath for what presents might be opened the next day. No day off work. Just an everyday day. The world was teetering on the edge of the most remarkable event in its history Continue reading “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” →

Come & Dine With Me

dark-forest

I had this picture come to mind on Sunday while in church.

You remember the scene in the movie Hook with Robin Williams where he has met the Lost Boys and he sits down at the end of a very long day to what he thinks is going to be a glorious meal, but when the lids come off there is nothing. Peter is starving – dying for something to eat, but he can’t see the food.  We are like this sometimes.
