How Bright Is Your Lamp?

How much light do you have? God challenged me with these questions as my Gem of Knowledge today: "How much light do you have? How much oil do you have? How bright do you keep your lamp burning? Enough for others to come to the light or just enough to barely see for yourself? Who will have the more rewarding journey? Amen." Is my walk with Christ just enough to get me through the day? Or is my life shining brightly enough that someone else might be drawn toward Jesus because of what they see in me? The truth is, people who are lost don't need to see a dimly glowing faith. They need to see the hope, peace, joy, and love that only Jesus can produce. They need someone whose lamp is burning brightly enough to help guide them toward the Savior. Go shine. You never know whose path God intends to illuminate through your life. 💎

Light Drives Out The Darkness

Have you ever noticed that darkness doesn't have to be invited? It seems to creep into our lives naturally. The problem is that darkness doesn't need our permission to grow. It only needs us to stop intentionally filling ourselves with the Light. God reminded me of this in today's Gem of Knowledge: "Darkness will consume you if you don't intentionally fill yourself with light—Me and My Word. Amen." Light isn't something we accidentally stumble into. It's something we intentionally pursue. Just as a lamp eventually burns through its oil, our hearts can begin to grow dim when we neglect the One who continually fills us. We were never meant to shine on yesterday's oil. Don't wait until your lamp is nearly empty before seeking Him. Spend time with Him today. Let Him fill you again, so your light continues to shine brightly in a world that desperately needs to see Him. 💎

Road

i stumble along this road alone
my feet on jagged rocks to moan
but soon i shall gain my home
far far away

alone but not forsaken
this path once already taken
when the foundations of the earth were shaken
long time ago

though blind i can still see
my eyes on him who guideth me
in his presence i at last am free
now and near at hand
