I can honestly say that right now and throughout this past year that I am probably going through the worst storm of my life, and I know that’s saying much because I’m young and still have so many years ahead, but this is something I’ve been feeling and I feel this way because of everything that’s been happenening to me at once. I know I’m not the greatest person and I don’t know much about blogging, in fact I feel as if I’m doing a horrible job sometimes and the only reason I keep coming back is because I think of how maybe I have something that may be of a blessing to share with others. And with this post I just want to share how Jesus has been a light in my dwelling place. My new pastor, Pastor Ross had recently preached on the topic of never letting our lamps go out and it just really hit a soft spot with me and got me to thinking how my light has been getting dimmer and dimmer. My first thought was how can I get my dim light to shine again, Pastor Ross quickly answered this when he went on to say how in order to have a lamp, you must know the light. At first I thought well of course I know the light it’s Jesus and I’ve been faithfully going to church like I’m supposed to, but then the holy spirit started getting onto me about my devotion and bible reading/study time and how I’ve been lacking and yeah I can blame it on the fact that I’ve been busy with work, but that’s not even good enough of an excuse. This could very much be one of the reaon of my light getting dimmer. I really need to be on top of these things, maybe even setting a reminder in my phone. But I wanted to share with you how having a light is in important not only in my life but maybe yours too. Not only do you have to have the light, you have to be the light in the darkness, because their may be someone watching you to see how you react to a problem. And how you do react to things can say a lot about your character (2 Corinthians 5:20). Having a light means you are complete in Him, no matter what happens and what comes your way, you are humble and complete in Him. Just the thought of knowing that I’m saved through His blood gets me everytime, because having that part of Him in me means so much to me. I know there will more problems and trials to come, but knowing that I can lean on and depend on Himm, makes me joyful. And you can be happy in the darkest of times if you just turn the light on.
