Let There Be Light

I am so fortunate. That's the only thing I know to say. Even when problems come, I am fortunate.

Have you ever seen one of those pictures with something hidden it in and when you first look at it all you see is mumbo jumbo...but then you study it and look deeper and it's like a light comes on shining on whatever was hidden from you. From that moment on you can see nothing else but whatever it was that was before eluding you.

I am so thankful, so fortunate today that God has shone His light on His Word for me. Each time I open it, each time I hear an anointed message my view is forever changed.

And even in hard times, I know from experience, from the light that now shines on my past trials and obstacles that in time the rain will pass and the Light of the World will illuminate my life once again, bringing new growth to my life.

I love this song by Mercy Me. It just fits me. I love Him too much to turn back now!!!

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty
