The Light is Sweet





Yes, the light is sweet.
 
Light warmed my day,
 
sunshine causing dark shadows

to run and hide. 

This January day, gloriously

unfurled her bright warm rays.

I, with upturned spirit

soaking up her light
 
smiling, delighting

in pleasant beaming
 
all the while

eyes fully awakening

to the meaning

and primal aching need

for true light.

In His light

we see light.
 
 
 
Psalm 74:16 The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun.
 
Psalm 104:2 [You are the One] Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain or a tent,
 
Isaiah 60:20 Your sun shall no more go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
 
John 1:4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

John 1

 1IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
    2He was present originally with God.
    3All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
    4In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.
    5And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].
 
John 8:12 Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.
