5-5-26    THOUGHTS

I’m deviating from our norm today to share something I believe is worthwhile.  May we draw nearer to our God continually!  I’ve had this for years, stumbled across it yesterday.  Enjoy...

John 12:46  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Col 1:27  to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

 From Adam Clarke’s Commentary:  “Phineas Fletcher. Speaking of the conversion of a soul to God—                             A Poem
     "New LIGHT new LOVE, new LOVE new LIFE hath bred;
       A LIFE that lives by LOVE, and loves by LIGHT:
       A LOVE to him, to whom all LOVES are wed;
       A LIGHT, to whom the sun is darkest  night:
       Eye’s LIGHT, heart’s LOVE, soul’s only LIFE he is:
       LIFE, soul, love, heart, LIGHT, eye, and all are his:
       His eye, LIGHT, heart, LOVE, soul;
       He...  all my joy and bliss."   PURPLE ISLAND, Can. I. v. 7.  (1633 AD)
Songs:
He Is My Everything, He Is My All
Jesus Is all The World To Me

Our Prayer:
Father, draw us nearer to Yourself with each breath we take.  May our desire be to Your light and love.  Keep us alive and in Your saving grace.  In the name of Jesus,   Amen.
