Welcome to my "Open Window"...a place of hope, encouragement, and adventure as we journey down the road from "Closed Doors" to the new opportunities God places in our pathway. I hope you will take the time to go back and follow the trail of mixed blessings and fears, failures and triumphs from the past and side-trips in the present. Perhaps it will conjure up some of your own special memories, and be an invitation for you to share with others. I look forward to spending this time with you!
What Do You See Outside YOUR Open Window Today?

Giving Light...
"The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple."
Psalm 119:130
"Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
and teach me Your statutes."
Psalm 119:135
Jesus said to His disciples:
"You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a lampstand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
So...
Let us be the Light of Christ
to others today...
wherever we are,
whatever we may be doing...
"Let your light so shine before men...that they may see
your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Amen!

DeleteBeautiful verses and images about Light!!
ReplyDeleteI was just hearing the verse from Psalm 119:130 this morning in my prayer time. it was this version, "The unfolding of Your words gives light, giving understanding to the simple."
I live in Japan, and somehow the line `unfolding of Your words gives light` makes me think of `origami` (Japanese paper folding) and I was imagining His words just unfolding and unfolding out from `folded` papers. So it was a treat to have been led to your post following that and to see those lines from the psalm and all the other verses about Light!
Blessings and Shalom from Japan!
Welcome, Shayndel! What beautiful imagery...the "origami" god's words unfolding out from the folded papers. I am so happy you have visited here today and hope you will return. God bless you!
DeleteThank you so much! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBless you my friend. Thank you for being here.
