Shadow and Light

Song: Everything, by Tim Hughes
Scripture: Amos 5:8 (New Century Version)
8 God is the one who made the star groups Pleiades and Orion;
he changes darkness into the morning light,
and the day into dark night.
He calls for the waters of the sea
to pour out on the earth.
The Lord is his name.

I’m not sure when, but at some point I wrote this:

Shadow and light,
As night into day
The Son bursts,
Wordlessly, powerfully
Into my heart
Golden radiance
Spreads into blue skies
Rays of hope
Shine through the clouds
A lone dove sails into the light
Metallic brilliance
Occupies its space
Temporarily
As the blinding light it reflects
Emerges
Pink skies give way
The clouds now appear
The searing brightness
Casting darkness from my life
Things look different in the light
Even if I’ve had my eyes closed
Confidence wells within my soul
Thank You for Your Presence
Tears well in my eyes
The beauty of it all
Piercing my soul.

1 Peter 2:9-10 (New King James Version)
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

... and my journey with Him continues ...
