OUR LIGHT

"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."

Revelation 21:23
King James Version

Several years ago when I lived in Texas one of my pastors said "We were in a cave and it was so dark that I couldn't see my hands". It doesn't matter how dark it gets because Jesus is our light.

One happy and joyous day when Jesus comes back to take us to Heaven we will be with Him for all eternity. Are you going to go with Jesus when He comes back for us?

Has there ever been a time in your life when you admitted you are a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour? If not, I urge you to say yes to Jesus even while reading this devotion.

We don't know when He is coming back for us but He is coming for us. What a happy and joyous day that will be. Every time I think about seeing Jesus face to face I get excited.

Carrie E. Breck wrote a hymn that makes me shout with happiness whenever I sing it or hear it sung "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR".

"Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?

Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkened veil between, But a blessèd day is coming, When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain."

Are you shouting with happiness yet? Think about it. Jesus, the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" is coming back for us and we will be with Him in Heaven for all eternity.

I love You so much, dear Jesus. Every time I think about You dying for me and loving me when I was so hateful and selfish, I am filled with joy and happiness to think that You love me so much.

Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins and paying the price that I could never have paid. You are the best Friend anyone could ever have. Other people leave us but You never leave us. Thank You, dear Jesus, for everything You have done for me.
