Light of Eternity

 

Whom the Son sets free, is yes, 

free indeed.(John 8:36)  

Free to lift up holy hands in prayer 

and praise the Lord. (Psalm 134:2)

Holy? How is it that we can be holy?

Because He has shown His 

glorious light on us.

We can tell our stories - 

of light infused, hope in darkness

places our souls have reveled.

He is strong to find us,

we are His.

In His hands we are made new

golden, glorious

shining.

He cleans our feet, wipes our souls

of the dirt we have borne

as we lay ourselves bare before Him.

Lay it all down before Him

and allow the light of eternity

shine in.

"Put your hope in God for I will yet praise Him,

my Savior and my God." (Psalm 43:5)

"As for me, I will always have hope, 

and praise You more and more."  (Psalm 71:14)  

"He refreshes my soul."  (Psalm 23:3)

 

Eternal

(I found these photos on Pinterest.

There is an abundance of beauty 

shared through that resource.)

The promises of God are eternal.

What are His promises?

A quick Google search reveals links that share some of the thousands of His promises.

Included in His promises are freedom, escape from corruption, adoption into His family, rest for our weary souls, shelter and deliverance, peace, everlasting and unconditional love, and eternal life.  How do we inherit His promises?  By accepting Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Savior.

Once we do this, a whole new life opens to us.  There is hope, joy, love, peace, forgiveness, mercy and grace free for the taking.  We can be constantly made new, in our minds, souls and bodies as we look to Christ Jesus to transform us.   

It is a beautiful, ongoing process.

His mercies are new every morning.

I share these pictures and words today with my word for the year:

ETERNAL.

My focus this year will be on that which is eternal. 

Love is eternal.

Grace is eternal.

Joy is eternal.

The Kingdom of God is eternal.

Life here is temporary.

May this eternal kingdom impact me more so than ever to live an abundant life here on earth, keeping in focus that which really matters and lasts in the end.
