Psalm 18: 28, "You Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
John 1 4-5, ..."The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has NOT OVERCOME IT."
Because in His presence there is peace, there is rest. In the presence of the Lord, there is light that NEVER ENDS!!
Now I want to share my experience of "Halloween Horror Nights." I can't believe I paid to have my head buried, and eyes shut, most of the night. If I knew then what I know now, I would have definitely chosen, "Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party." Back in the day I followed the crowd in some things that I thought was no big deal. I still had my morals. I remember not wanting to go because I heard how frightening it was. I never liked scary movies, or being scared, and I still don't. I just watch the news and that is enough horror for me.
Well long story short.... I remember walking most of the park SO TENCE that my stomach hurt. People would jump out of nowhere. The more scared you were, the more they hovered over you. Even come at you with chainsaws. It was crazy!! Well it came time for my friends wanting to go into the first horror house of the night. I can tell you, that was my last! I made one of my friends go in front of me, and the other behind me, so I could burry my head, and shut my eyes till I got out of there. They had my back the whole way. I waited for them at the food court until they had their full of this horror night.
Thank God we could escape that silly horror here. Number one, you have a choice to not go to things like that. But if you do go and you get scared, make sure you go with friends that will have your back. Then it's over and you go home.... That's here, this side of eternity.
One day when your life is over, your eyes will open to a place for all eternity. You either believed in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or you didn't. When I say believe, I mean you asked Him to walk you through life. There is no in between. We will all be judged one day. God the Father will decide whether we really believed in His Son or not. We will open our eyes to beauty beyond what we could imagine, or somewhere where no one can help you. No one will have your back there, and the darkness and horror will NEVER END.
No one will ever be able to tell me that my life experiences of Jesus taking hold of me, and walking me through dark times in my life is a lie. I mean, you can tell me that, but you can't prove it. It's my experiences, and my stories. In all my failures He never walked out. He is the peace in all my troubles. I know He shines His light in the darkest of my days. I trust in all His promises. I don't have to fear what tomorrow brings, because He's got my back. In life, and even in my death, darkness has no place with me.
I can rise and sing... "In Your presence Lord there is Joy, there is light, there is life that never ends. How I love You Jesus, "Walk with me" You are my light for every step.
