There is someone who fully knows what lurks in our hearts. Our God, alone knows. He sympathizes with our weaknesses and forgives all our transgressions. To Him there are no secret struggles or silent cries. He hears. He sees. He stays near.
From Psalm 145:18: “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
From Jeremiah 15:21: “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”

From Revelation 21:23: “And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.”
Shrouded in darkness
Surrounded with gloom
World living with sin
Light beams from death’s tomb
Found in Father’s Word
Filled with His Good News
Enduring light shines
Life’s anchor, now choose
Blessed kingdom waits
Focused light brings more
Seeing faithful road
Jesus, faith’s mentor
Lighted lamp confirms
Revealed through His grace
Lamb bears every sin
Jesus takes our place
Harvested mercy
Completed, finished
Light forever leads
Love undiminished
From James 3:17: “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.”
