Two words

There are two words that God has put in my heart so far this new year and they are "Light", and "Run." The fact that we should love and want him so much that we would RUN after him. For me running does not come easy. I usually end up out of breath and just tired. But I want to be so in love with God that I will RUN after him and trust that he will keep me steady and renew my strength. I already wrote about "Light" but I thought I would share the other word. :) Keep RUNNING!!

Light

So today during worship I kept seeing the word "light" in my mind and all the way through a couple of songs that said nothing about "light," And then during another song I got an image of a huge building. In the building there were many rooms but all of them lead to a main room. The building was dark. There were no lights, and no windows. And suddenly a bright light that filled every crevice of the building burst forth. And in every seperate room in all the corners there were people huddled, hiding. They were filthy and dressed in rags with sores all over there bodies. When the light reached them though they were instantly clean and healed and their clothes were made of rich cloth. Their faces were lit with contagious smiles. And then the word "light" popped into my mind again.

     The Lord does not want us to hide in the dark, scared and afraid of the good things in the light. We often hinder ourselves from shining because we fear that we fail. God has given us talents and dreams to light up the world and here we are sitting in the dark and watching the world pass us by. God's light is good. It is amazing. His light can outshine the darkest hours in our lives. Let your light shine!!!
