“So a few years ago on the right side of our fish tank the light had burned out so I went to the Pet store to purchase a lightbulb for it..and came home and to change it out only to find that it still wasn’t working..so needless to say it was the whole piece that had gone bad..so Erik and I went back over there to purchase the whole piece..and we brought it home and changed it out and the lights came on in the fish tank..and I can say that our little tropical fish were so happy about it..and the reason I know this is because for the past few weeks they have only been swimming on the left side of the tank where the light was on..Amen..and the right side they didn’t go over there much at all..and now they are all over the tank swimming around very happy since we got the other side of the tanks light fixed..Amen..and I reminded of this story this morning for I had went in to turn on the lights for them and now it’s the left side of the tank where the light has burned out..so off to the Pet store I must go to get our fish the lights turned on fully in there home..Amen!”

“But of course you know I think about Jesus..and at how in His word He says that He is the light of the world..Amen..that whosoever follows the Lord will have light and they will not have the darkness of the world..John 8:12..for God’s light shines in the darkness and it says the darkness cannot overcome it..John 1:5..Amen..that we as God’s children are supposed to shine our lights for the world to see that they may glorify our Father in whom is in heaven..Matthew 5:16..Amen..for you see just as those fish were so happy with light so are we in Christ..Amen..for it says in scripture that the Lord is our light and our salvation..whom shall we fear?..of whom shall we be afraid?..Psalm 27:1..Amen..for it only takes a little light to repel away that darkness..so my prayer for us all is that we would rise..and be those chosen people..that royal priesthood..that holy nation shining forth the light of Jesus for all to see..1 Peter 2:9..Amen..for the light of the Lord changes everything in our lives..and it changes everything in other peoples lives as well..Amen!”

“For it tells us that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all..so when we walk in the light as Jesus is in the light we have fellowship with one another..1 John 1:5-9..Amen..and that is my hope for us all is that we have fellowship with each other..Amen..that we choose to shine the light upon the darkness of this world..repelling it away from every soul in whom we come in contact with..shining and lighting the pathway that others may come to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..for when we walk in the Lords light we as well walk in His love..Amen..and that is where we all win..in the love of Jesus..for love covers it all..1 Peter 4:8..love and light is where others are freed..and others find joy, peace and happiness..that is where we all find the Lord..Amen..and that is in His love and in His light..so let us pursue those things in our lives..let us live in Jesus every day..sharing all of who He is to us..so that others can come to know Him as Lord for them and their lives..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..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
