2 Corinthians 4
1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;2But have renounced the hidden things
of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.8We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.11For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake,
that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.13We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;14Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.15For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory;18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Please Come Be a Light In the darkness

I am creating this page in hopes that you will come and share your witness. It doesn't have to be long, just honest. I truly believe that our Lord Jesus works through each of us in unique and beautiful ways. He shines forth through us when we are living for Him. Sharing Him and His ever-present love within our lives is an important aspect of christian life. As He shapes and molds us His love shines brilliantly out into the world around us. As we live within His will we see what He sees. We see because we are no longer blind. We are able to take this sight and share it with others, the gifts He blesses us with are to be shared to be shown and made known to those around us. As we live each day faithfully devoted to His will, how we act and speak and what He is doing within our lives and hearts is a daily witness to Him. His presence within us will shine for those around us to see. This is a blog dedicated to speaking, sharing and witnessing to what He has given to you. So if you would like to share please send me your story in an email I will post it as it is, I will not edit any submissions.

This poem is my witness.

Patience
The Patience he showed for me I must now learn from Him
He gave me years of patience and forgiveness for my sins
I always heard him calling from deep inside somewhere
Never really stopping to listen or to truly hear
He was there to guide me back onto the mighty road
Since those early years his voice has surely grown
I had to learn to listen and open up my heart
Praying and acknowledgment was a good place to start
In my youthful years I was led astray
I chased false happiness all to Gods dismay
He stayed with me by my side protecting me from harm
He was the gentle voice within speaking to me so calm
I did not obey God in those early years
I let go of His hand and went down the path of fears
I walked away from Him and onto the road below
This road was filled with sadness and many lonely souls
I still had God deep within myself
So I held onto the lonely thinking I help
Not understanding I too was among the lost
My truth and my morals were just a part of the cost
Years of youth now wasted I was no longer whole
I had been deceived by the devil he tried to keep my soul
But I had God beside me reaching out his hand
He reached deep into my heart and made me understand
He would never leave me as long as I beleived in Him
It still took many years for me to really comprehend
The magnitude of the relationship that we share today
He granted me with many gifts that I once threw away
Now I fully trust in He who never let me down
I will now stay beside Him and never turn around
I will never tread on that broken road that I have left behind
I will walk ahead with God and learn Patience in due time
I will try to help others off that broken lonely road
I will be there to share the graces he has bestowed
For when we ask for forgiveness with pure faith and reverence for Him
He will be beside us to forgive us of our sins
These poems are a gift for me to share with you
They are from within my heart where Gods love for all is true
