To my precious readers… Today,  I linked with others at The Gypsy Mama , who prompts writers with a word. Today it is LIGHT. Then we have just 5 minutes to let the words flow from our hearts. So here is my 5 minutes worth…

The week brought a cloud of darkness that hovered over and heavy-hearted I went through my days, until this morning.

Mercies are new every morning and the Son is shining bright… I am going to bask in His Light and watch all the darkness quietly slip away — powerless over me.

These words were on my lips before I ever stepped foot out of bed this morning, and I have been dwelling on the truth of the power over darkness that the Light possesses.

God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all. No, not in any way. 1John 1:5

I do not fear the Light, even if it exposes the darkness that is in my own soul. I am unafraid of the Light shining on the truth, even if it reveals I am in error. With, Jesus, I want to walk, and there is no place in my heart that I do not grant Him access to. If I say I am in communion with Him, and yet I live and move and am walking around in darkness, then I lie. 1John 1:6

And friends, my friends, I may not be the best at being one, but be rest assured — what you get from me is authentic. Vulnerability is my gift to you. What other treasure do I have to offer from myself, except the truest part of me? Not everyone wants to see someone transparent, but only something that is transparent allows light to shine through, and if I am really living and walking in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have true, unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1John 1:7

Together, as we walk in His Light, life pours and life fills, from one heart to another, and the soul is nourished, as this true kind of fellowship, is a gift He paid for by His blood.

PS This morning I woke up and read this post I wrote just after midnight last night, and I could not bear to see a few grammatical errors I made, be left uncorrected. So, I corrected them. I know, I know 🙂
