??Amos? ?5:18?-?20? ?NIV?? [18] Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light. [19] It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. [20] Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness? Oh God, shall we be thankful unto your patience That we might come to know your ways How darkness has consumed this world Within each of us is no good The world's light is of darkness and gloom But yet we are One Nation Under God Which god to me is uncertain Oh , God that you still stretch out your hand For , Christ is the light that shines The truth on the deception of darkness Within each of us first to see we are What goes against what Jesus died for If we could be good in own works Jesus death is in vain. But,in your majestic plan that we might return Only, through the rebirth of the spirit Manifesting and purifying One Into, becoming what Jesus died for That we might become unto His liking To find that love deep within each of us That is placed within by you God That is seeking to resurrect in unity In a family of the Children of God of the living We should not hurry along and fear revelations But seek the revelation within each of us A new beginning of crucifying old self That others might come to know your Joy, peace, love and unity you have for us ??Psalms? ?139:11?-?12? ?NIV?? [11] If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” [12] even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Amen. Over and again you exhort your fellow men to emerge out of darkness into the light shown by Christ ! Only by casing our old self, we can emerge into new beings. I am always moved by your enthusiasm to spread the Word of God. May He fill your life with peace, joy, love and unity!

your spiritual poem resonated with me, Stephan. These lines spoke to me as did the last few lines: Oh , God that you still stretch out your hand For , Christ is the light that shines. I understand and appreciate this truth. Well said...enjoy your evening, Sara
