is it really Good tidings of Great Joy for me!?
DAY 12 of 12 : 12 reasons for Celebration !
'Life’ that lights our spirit !
" 1 In the beginning was the Word, ..........
4 In him was life,
and that life was the light of all mankind." John 1:1,4
The Word is not just about its accomplishing power as we saw the previous article;
but also, In the word is life and that 'life' is the 'light' that lights our spirit.’
There are treasures inside the word to help us lead our journey.
* The most important is that not only do we get these treasures in ‘theory’,
but the Holy spirit works in us and gives us,
life to our soul !
light to our spirit !
clarity in our thoughts !
They say,
“We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us”
Since it is so easily available at hand, we ignore 'the Word'
and go in search, to uplift our soul and spirit,
seeking outside in the world, its people,
losing our time, energy, paying for it,
only to find out in the end that all the
wisdom, motivation, solutions, hope and the calm we sought for our soul
was right in our hands!
The Life to our soul and Light to our spirit was just beside us all the while !
Just a true desire,
* small consistent efforts of commitment to show our search,
* a desire to find the treasures in the word,
* and he becomes real to us in our journey -
A companion, counsellor, protector, all that we seek in this world !
bringing assurance and calm in our journey !
Drops of water everyday, from a leaking tap in the garden
makes the soil near it, good enough for a plant to bud, a flower to bloom!
Likewise, a consistent intake of the word by reading and hearing,
even without our understanding initially, of what's happening inside,
will bring life to our soul ! light to our spirit ! clarity in our thoughts !
Ponder over and get the invaluable treasures of 'the word' -
with 'consistent' efforts of commitment
and
Celebrate the season for we have 'The Word' with us now, that is life,
and that life is the light of all mankind !
