EVERLASTING LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you been living in the dark all your life?
Don’t lose hope; you can avail of everlasting light
With this light, you no longer need the sun to shine by day
Nor will you need the moon to give its light by night
For the Lord your God will be your everlasting light
He will be your glory and you will receive eternal life
This everlasting light can only be found in Jesus
Run to his arms and you will know how you are very precious.

Light is very important in our lives. Without it, it is impossible to do much. Just as our eyes need light as an aid so we can accomplish our daily tasks, our spirits need everlasting light that is constantly there to guide our paths. Do you wonder why most children are scared of the dark? The absence of light makes us fear. It makes us ponder what could be around us and if we are safe. The same way that when our soul is covered with much darkness, we fear our spiritual death. The bible talks about an everlasting light which only comes from Jesus Christ.

Your sun will never set: your moon will not go down. For the Lord will be your everlasting light. Your days of mourning will come to an end. –Isaiah 60:20 (NLT)
EVERLASTING LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you grieving over the loss of someone?
Do you feel alone or sometimes want to run?
Are you living in total darkness and confusion?
Have joy, Christ will be your light in all seasons.
The sun will never set nor the moon go down
The Lord will be your everlasting light all year round
Your days of mourning will come to an end
His eternal life will just be around the bend.

Have you ever been excited over an expected outcome? I used to look forward to finishing a project I first brainstormed in my mind. Even as a child, I started to be exposed to my aunt’s sewing which initiated my creative thinking. As I look at other people’s clothes, I imagine in my head how these clothes must have been put together. I would be obsessed by it until I actually visualize how they will be finished if I made them. The expectancy of executing what was in my mind motivated me to relentlessly finish a project. When it is done, it feels ecstatic.
In Isaiah 60, the Lord promises Jerusalem its future glory after all that it went through. He promised them everlasting light. In other words, never ending bliss.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your faithful promises.
REFLECTION
Which promises of God do you eagerly await?
