Both the Son and the sun have a lot in common…the sun when shining is such a lovely thing to all, it warms our hearts, it brightens our days and puts a spring in our steps, we go and do so much when the sun is shining, were so excited to go out and conquer the world so to speak when that big beautiful sunshine is out and shining so brightly…such a wonderful gift the sun..but what is more wonderful than it all and that is the Son of Jesus Christ…when were in the Sons presence than all of the darkness and all of them shadows fall way behind us….when were in Gods presence than there is no darkness, or shadows, there is no fear, there is no pressure, there is nothing but fullness of Joy the Bible says…for in Gods presence is fullness of Joy and at His right hand are pleasures forever more….so why would any of us ever want to begin our days or even start our days without the Lord and His presence..1 John 1:5…and without His light to illuminate within us to repel away them dark clouds and them shadows that come our way….when we stay with God and live in Him then we have such a joy and light about us, and when others look upon us than they see Christ Jesus shining out from us….when we stay there in the Lords presence than we are that salt and light that were suppose to be to this world in which we live…Matthew 5:13-16…we don’t represent us, we don’t fall down in the darkness of the gloom or doom, because we are sitted and we are sitting in Gods presence..Jeremiah 15:1…and when were there than we are well and we become whole….when were there than there is peace like a river, there is this undenying unfailing love, there is fullness, there is patience, and there is hope…so we go and we stay and rest in Gods presence daily…and while there we thank Him for all that He has done and everything He is going to do….we love Him and we worship Him for He alone deserves all the glory, praise and honor….so never let us go out to start our days without first going into the Almighty’s presence….going and basking in the Son of the Lord our God…for there is no other place, nor will there ever be any place that can’t satisfy, mend, heal and forever and completely change us as Gods presence can and does…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
