God's Radiant Light

We are God’s children, and precious are we,
but we should listen to what He had to say
to his disciples, who gave us His words.
God told them that He was the way.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life,”
and not only that, but “the light of the world.”
the light that Christ spoke of is so divine
we can’t comprehend it . . . it’s infinity-swirled.

Can you imagine its pulsating bliss?
If you saw it, could you turn away?
It’s yours by His grace, and it’s the gift
we celebrate each Easter, the chosen remembrance day.

If we could see it and touch each gold ray,
our hearts would sing poetry, for love would reign.
Peace would abide. Envy, hate and greed
would vanish – no more would we see their ugly stain.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
How I would love to feel that radiant light
emanating from our Lord – enveloping us all.
Oh, how glorious it would be. Oh, what pure delight!

Great Caesar's ghost Andrea! You describe acceptance of religious values for real. It would certainly be a very different world. Imagine people working together for the benefit of this small dot in the universe! Hope you are well in aftermath of Easter's inspiration!! The thoughts are beautiful

I am not religious so as a child I liked Halloween best and today I like Christmas the best. For a while I was confused what to believe in about God but I want very much to have the passion that Christians feel for Jesus. For me, the grace of Jesus seems the best of all beliefs
