In this light. In these colors reflected on brick walls. This is where I worshiped this morning.
Simply here in a rainbow display of God’s love. It leaped from the walls and into my heart, moving my soul to a posture of faith – a knee-bending, heart-yielding, humbling belief in a God who has not left the building. A God who, instead, makes himself manifest in the building despite dimmed eyes and dulled hearts.
Those who have eyes to see, minds to conceive, and a heart to believe couldn’t miss the Light of God’s witness this Sunday morning. He was just that brilliant.
And then these words, chorused in response:
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
My best thought.
Day or night.
Awake or asleep.
God’s presence …
My Light.
Enough to dispel the darkness. Enough to revive my faith.
This is where I worship. This is why I worship. To see the Light is to see eternally. How grateful I am for the glimpses of glory that color themselves onto brick walls so that I might celebrate, once again, the love of Jesus that colors grace onto my heart.
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” (Isaiah 9:2)
Brilliant Sabbath Light. Perfect Sabbath rest. Blessed …
Peace for the journey,
His Love is sweet and simple, yet conciliatory and complex
Great post Elaine. We have to be ready to see God in the seemingly “little” things don’t we? It is in those things that God most often speaks the loudest to us! Happy Sabbath Day my friend!!
Elaine you need to get Matthew’s West CD “Into The Light” its awesome.
So beautiful! Love His LIGHT and this display!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you. Thank you for sharing with us!! You do my heart good, Girl! Holy hugs ~~~
Oh my! That picture is the bomb! It does draw my heart into worship of Christ. And then the song…one of my all-time favorites. It is so profoundly deep with theology and heart-tugging truth. Thank you, Elaine, for bringing me to the feet of God with this post.
And we are called to be HIS LIGHT in our depraved and hurting world! Matthew 5:14-16.
So Glorious!!! Thanks for sharing and I agree, the photo is stunning!
I’m looking to self-publish my book…who would you recommend?
Hugs and blessings sent your way!
Beautiful!
John 8:12, ESV:
“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'”
His Light – His rainbow Light of Promise.
GOD BLESS!
