The past couple of weeks have been a little difficult.. My mom was ill, and she kept having to visit the doctors because she wasn’t sure what was going on. And if you know me, dealing with illness with family or friends was never my strong suit. We were also prepping and handling my niece’s Baptism at the time, and time was just going by so fast. Amongst the other things going on as well, I just wanted some time alone and breathe.
Whenever I’m put into a situation where I have to face family illnesses, or I go through “stress-overload”, my mind suddenly goes into a dark place just to avoid any emotional toll I’m about to go through. I tend to be an emotional person at times. But during the closing worship of yesterday’s Leaders League these particular words stood out to me,
Now Christ is the strength of a heart that once set in the dark.
In His hope I’m made whole, now His freedom that saves me soul.
Through prayer, through reading the Bible, I was having such a hard time just listening and seeking guidance these past couple of days. But during that worship The Lord basically shouted to me that “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (John 8:12).
Lord, thank You.
