><>...Thank you WT for your kind words of support...><> I Jn 1:5-7 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Did not everyone of us once walk in darkness. It is the light of God that exposes the darkness and no darkness can stand in that light. How oft did we turn from the light that blinded even us. How long before that light brought us to our knees? How long did the darkness blind even us before the light opened our eyes?....O What a Saviour we have in Jesus....He never stops knocking! Praise His holy name! It is just that some need a siren blast...or... a knock off their big white horse on their travels to Damascus!...A knock on the door of one's heart, just doesn't do it for some, but praise God He just doesn't give up....It is His will that no one perish! 2 Cor 4:4-11 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. God bless you and your family. Shalom...><>
