Breaking Through the Dark

God took one look at us and saw the person we could be:  breaking through the dark He awakened our hearts and made something so beautiful.  Our hearts were full of joy and praise at what He had done.  That joy can spoil by a day of rain and disheartenment and pain.  But if we look up we see Him breaking through the clouds ready to heal us by faith.  He is the compassionate Christ.  O, how He loves us and never gives up:  Jesus is our deliverer and is our solid rock of salvation.

For the Lord is the great God and in His hands are the depths of the earth and the mountains we can't climb.  Take time to listen for Him and when you hear His voice don't harden your hearts.  Do what He says and become full of joy once again and expert mountain climbers.

Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might.  Enjoy your work for Him.  Pray for wisdom for it is greater than strength.  No man knows what is coming, so sharpen your axe and get busy; morning is coming but so is the night.  Jesus will care for you as you break through the dark.

God says to be imitators of him and live a life of love,  just as Christ loved us.  For you were once darkness, but now you are children of the great light of the world.  You will find producing the fruit of light which is all goodness, righteousness, and truth.  Find out what pleases the Lord.  Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but "wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you".

Be filled with the Holy Spirit; speaking to one another with songs and music in your heart always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the sweet name of our Lord, Christ Jesus.

O his love is a symphony and in our praises make Your home Lord, for what do we have to give to you Majesty except this life You have given us.  And when darkness comes in the light of your grace: fill up our hearts and make us whole.  There is no one like our God; we will praise you, praise you!
