Arise

Isaiah 60:1-2


Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.




I arose like a child left alone in darkness, and presented myself to our Lord, the year 1995.  How frighten I became when I witnessed, my mother nor sister, no longer cared for me.  I hadn't a bit of knowledge in what the word of God stood for.  But I believed in my heart, He was a good God, and an God who could love me, if I'd just straighten parts of my life up.  Hallelujah! And He proved me right, because I never gave up on Him, and He never gave up on me, spite the drastic four times I failed.  Darkness was all around me, revealing itself more and more after I returned back to my place of birth Los Angeles the year, 1995.  I was gone from my state for an number of years, eventually, taking some time to do some real soul searching, to figure this thing out, called life.  However, that wasn't what my family and friends were doing while I was away, and the more I saw, the more disturbed I became, pushing me closer to God.  God says, the whole world lays under the sway of satan, and I'm sad to say, He is right.  I had no choice but to start loving God more and more, when I saw that my group of people could care less about me, or any other, if it didn't benefit them.  I heard nothing deep within our conversations, no love for me, or another.  My interest became sparked in this matter, and I went deeper into the word of God to find its truth, and God revealed it.  God is a God of love, true love, and so we must be also, our world explained.  We are not walking in honest love for God, or for one another, so we're not receiving the desires of our hearts as He says He will give.  Our God is light, for those in a dark place in life.  He's power, strength, and deliverance, for those who will arise.


(Colossians 3:16)  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...)


Blessings to all who will arise and come to Christ in love,
