"In this dark world the Lord Jesus gave us the task of passing on His love."
-Corrie ten Boom 

"Let your LIGHT shine before others..." Matthew 5:16
 

Of course I agree.  Yes, I even try to act accordingly.  But it is so much easier to read and agree then to do. 

No, I don't go out shouting for or against, but there is anger rising inside me; an uncontrollable anger that at time almost takes over my entire being.  There are times that I raise my voice not even realising it until I stop talking and hear the deafening silent.   I leave rooms and run to hallways during discussions when I feel that I cross the line and it is truly not the topic which upset me, there is something else, and I need to calm down. 

Then, I read a quote such as the two above, and I realise that hate penetrates my surroundings.  Hate of Islam, hate of war, hate that brings cruelty to each other.  There is much being written about animal abuse and the need to stop eating meats of every kind, all the while overlooking human suffering of babies being murdered, grown-up heads being chopped off, and children used as human shields against ammunitions. 

Satan came to kill, steal, and destroy, and his works are spreading over the globe.  My hallo needs shining - my light is barely showing.  All I can do is to keep asking to help me to show His love, for mine is washed off by the blood around me and the tears that are fighting to leave their ducks.

248th Day of Thanks -

I thank you God for hanging on to my heart and allowing me to continue to recognise right from wrong, good from bad no matter how difficult the situation is around me. Thank You God for being my light and my love.

Needing a shower of love,

Orith
