Any message of unity must be wrapped in the Gospel’s Word about love.

To love God and love our neighbor is the standard of God, which on our own we cannot achieve.  But in Christ, a new command is issued.

From Matthew 22:36-40:  “‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’  He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the greatest and first commandment.  And a second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.'”

Facing today’s darkness

Tomorrow’s light, shrouded

Uncertainty gathers

God’s answers, unclouded

 

Teaching His righteous ways

Mercy shared from above

Molded by potter’s hands

God’s faithful, steadfast love

 

Filling future with hope

Spirit, faith’s anchorman

Welfare’s future promised

God’s always fruitful plan

 

Strengthening character

Darkness fades into light

Heavens eternal voice

God raises faith’s White Knight

 

Offering redemption

Calvary opens heart

Grace from living waters

Christ blesses new life’s start

Using personal experiences, a short story writer uses fiction with a dose of reality thrown in.  Creating a character to carry the story forward adds to the vision of any writer.

We can’t avoid darkness or pain in this life.  But we can go to the Lord in our weakness, knowing that In Him we are made stronger.

From 2 Corinthians 3:17-18:  “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.”
