“Loving Encouragement”

 “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light” Psalm 36.9

A shout out to my old school friend “God”. The Bible says that Abraham was God’s friend (2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23). They had a relationship of respect and obedience. This does not mean that Abraham was sinless, but he trusted God to lead where he was supposed to go. When God spoke to Abraham he immediately obeyed. Even though he was obedient to God, Romans 4 makes it clear that his salvation was not earned by works, but through faith in the  promise of God for a Savior.
Lovingly I also ‘holler’ to those of you , from the past and present. Who helps me with the light while in my darkest hours. Often the voice resonated, “Sugar Bear Let your gentleness Shine out of gloom”; as I reminisce on these words, “Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came”. There is no need to walk in the darkness of sin and death; in Christ, we “will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”. John 8:12

 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6

By itself, light is invisible; and yet everything is invisible until light strikes it. So, it is with God: awe can’t see him, but “in his light” under his loving influence we see and understand his love in all that surrounds us. God’s overwhelming generosity stands in complete contrast to the self-important plotting of wicked humans’ beings.

That is why we should clap our hands preaching the good- good news as we Join Jesus on his mission daily bridging between the City lights, in a distant noise of loud songs of Joy saying:

Proud to Be An 

Christian Alum

Go 

“Jesus is Lord”!

When God said, “Let there be light,” at the creation, and light appeared, it showed God’s creative power and absolute control. The physical light that God made on the first day of creation is a wonderful picture of what He does in every heart that trusts in Christ, the True Light. “I am the Light of the world” John 8:12

You see we as disciples in Matthew 5:14-16 we are shown as the light of the world. Just as the moon has no light of its own, reflecting the light of the sun, so are believers to reflect the light of Christ so that all can see it in us.  Let us maintain a sound and obvious witness in the world, a witness that shows us to be faithful alumni’s, God-honoring, trustworthy, sincere, earnest, and honest in all that we do giving an account of hope we have (Peter 3:15) for that gospel Light for all to see and benefit from, that they, too, may leave the darkness and come into the Light.

God Bless You and This Ministry!
