Never forsaken
Loved through God’s caring

Enemy trembles
Quashed by God’s own hand
Holiness lives throughout

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining–they just shine.
From John 8:12: “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'”
D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher. He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.

From Romans 13:11-12: “Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
Turning away from temptation’s path
Following God’s Holy, righteous road
Transforming self into Christ’s image
Experiencing His love, bestowed
Breathing, yet lost in evil’s darkness
Hiding in shame, past sinful landscape
Reaching for Salvation’s lasting grace
Wearing armor of light, faith reshapes
Sharing His Father’s Word, Christ teaches
Loving one another, sharing peace
Witnessing His greatest commandment
Living with openness, life’s new lease
Leaving His advocate, Christ assures
Coming Holy Spirit, lifts each life
Overcoming sin’s flesh-filled desires
Growing in submission, without strife
Offering path to new life, Christ comes
Forsaking life’s bold truth, darkness flees
Walking in faith, stepping into light
Remaining steadfast, in what He sees
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “When we rely on Him [God] instead of ourselves, He produces godly desires within us, empowers obedience, and transforms our character into Christ’s likeness.”

We ought to behave ourselves every day as though we had no dependence on any other.
From Psalm 113:4-6: “The Lord is high above all nations and his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?”
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was an American revivalist pastor, Christian theologian, and philosopher.
From James 1:22: “But be doers of the word and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.”
Father’s expectations
Obedience to His Word
Man’s imperfect faith
Heaven’s light remains blurred
Father addressed as Lord
Mankind’s trust remains distant
Shallow commitment
Actions inconsistent
Father’s observations
Each believer falling short
Every fool’s errand
Without Heaven’s passport
Father’s forthright guidance
Witnessed journey of His Son
Righteousness of Christ
Obedience of One
Father’s harmony breathes
Through Savior’s perfect actions
Unblemished lamb’s grace
Source of sin’s retraction
From Romans 5:19: “For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.”
When we realize how our faithful obedience opens our hearts to receive our Father’s grace, we shall see His forgiving light walking with us.
