Poems and Thoughts on
the Light of the World

If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.1 John 1.7

No need of the sun in the city to come,
The light of the world is Jesus;
All nations shall walk in the light of the Lamb:
The light of the world is Jesus.

John’s Gospel begins with the announcement that the life of Jesus is the true light in the darkness to enlighten every man who receives Him. JESUS says...How bold and attractive is a candle shining in a dark room. I shine in you. I burn in you so that those who still walk in darkness can see Me and be drawn to Me. Do not quench or cover the flame.

Jesus spoke to them again, saying. "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." John 8:12 NKJV

At the Name of Jesus

E’en sorrow, touched by heaven, grows bright
With more than rapture’s ray,
As darkness shows us worlds of light
We never saw by day.

E’en through harsh noises of our day,
A low, sweet prelude finds its way;
Through clouds of doubt and creeds of fear,
A light is breaking calm and clear.

Light enters the smallest opening accessible to it. It searches out the recesses that would otherwise remain dismal and dark, thus penetrating the gloom. It is a fact disclosed by science that it lays hold of the lurking germs of disease whether in the home or in the human system. Of Him it could not even stand in his presence.

Lights along the Shore

A LIGHT shone out in the cold and dim.
And a hope rose high where despair had been.
And the danger passed in that trying hour,
Though they never knew in the lighthouse tower.

The Light Within

PEOPLE are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out. But in the darkness, beauty is seen only if there is a light within. Let us today start looking for that light. But more so, let us learn to let our own light shine brightly.

"Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:3‑4

In service that his love appoints
There are no bonds for me,
For my inner heart is taught the truth
That makes his children free;
And a life of self‑renouncing love
Is a life of liberty.
