The Light of His Love

Isaiah 60:3 (NRSVue) - Nations shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

In this chapter, the prophet speaks of the gathering of the people. 

After a period of darkness, the Lord would arise and dispel it.

The author of Revelation also writes of the Lord and the dispelling of darkness.

He first writes of a new heaven and a new earth.

He then writes of the new Jerusalem.

It will have no need of man-made nor artificial light.

In fact, it will not even need the sun nor the moon to provide its light.

The light of the Lord will illuminate it!

Revelation 21:23-24 (NRSVue) - And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

The headlines of today paint a dark and gloomy picture of our world.

But we have no need to fear this darkness.

The light of the Lord is more than capable of overcoming it!

His light can penetrate even the darkest corners of our world.

His light can even penetrate the darkest corners of our hearts.

With His help, we can walk in that light.

We benefit from his grace and mercy.

We bask in the light of His love for us and all of humanity.

And, if we but make ourselves available to Him, we can reflect that light to those around us.

Then they too can bask in the light of His love.
