He Is Light
I was asked what I would want or can not live without if I were stranded on an island.
My response is Jesus, I can not live with out him.
He is light
He created the world
you and me
so perfectly, can’t you see?!
endowed us with words which free us
slaves to flesh, slaves to
sin
Sin that consumes and confuses our true purpose
to be light like him
not only to illuminate our shadows
but to illuminate this world from its shade
He is light
A light that never dims nor dies
but flows like a river through me
electrifying me like live wires dipped in-
water
healing the sick and consoling the weak
he allowed men to nail and believe
crucifying him, the king of kings was the right punishment for “blasphemy”
his blood saved me and gave me the authority to be before you and speak on the wonderful blessings i have received
He is light
The brightest star in the galaxy
forever there, even if you choose not to believe
And so there are those who say
where was hewhen my daddy touched me inappropriately
where was he when i was in the streets with no where to call my
home
I'm here to tell you something, sometimes heartaches are a must in order to surrender to him wholeheartedly
In John 3:16 he swore simply and proclaimed his love for me
So who ever believes will not die but live for eternity
In Matthew 8:23 he spoke of a storm which shook and scared his mind and body
leaving him no option but to believe our sleeping saviour could not save nor stop nature’s “I hate you”
Yet he has witnessed personally the blind begin to see, and the dead reviving but it was fear that made him doubt
fear can change our thinking in 1,2,3
matthew was so frightened he shook jesus out of his dreams and yelled,
“Do you not care about me?”
With a gesture the wind and sea became cool calm collected at once
cool calm collected at once
You see you must never forget that during your storm, the man up there is in your boat
He is light
Not just easter should you believe that jesus died for you and retrieved to heaven after 3 days
While you’re smoking dope, drinking gin, living the life of sin
our god cries because you don’t know what you’re getting yourself
into
He is light
More than 30 thou, more than 30 thousand jews died crucified by those in charge
romans, actually
yet we seem to only remember one
the one who forgives, no catch
the one who listens when you weep
the one who who gives you strength when you bend your knees and
pray
strength to face a world where we protest and yell "I can't breathe" yet we ignore the root of the issue and generational poverty
strength to beat stereotypes that state that those who are raised by single parents will be failures and not succeed
strength to change a world that seems to have instagram as its main priority
i tell you once you have jesus in your deck of cards its a royal flush,
so don’t flush this opportunity down the drain
He is light
Now go drink out of the fountain of life called jesus christ, and remember he will always be there, even when life ain't’ treating you right.
Because he is light
