Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have >the light of life." >--John 8:12 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >Darkness is more than a symbol, it is a pervasive way of living and >viewing the world. Darkness is the place of deception, evil, crime, >predators, sin, and death. To follow Jesus means to bring him our >heart and let him cast everything from the darkness that plagues us >on the inside so we don't have to be afraid of the darkness on the >outside. In this way, Jesus gives us light, but it is a light that >does more than fill a dark room. This is a light that illumines the heart. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy God who lives in glorious and irrepressible light, I praise you >for sending Jesus to cast away the dark fears that so easily >envelope me. I pray for strength and courage to not only live in the >light, but show others their way to the light. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/dlhqjwa_onvpax.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/jgdpckj_onvpax.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
