A Beacon of Light in the Darkness
Times are hard they say, the financial crisis is getting worse. People are anxious, everybody’s thinking for himself. Where do we go from here? Where do we find the light?
When all else is darkness, remember-
There is a place where darkness cannot prevail
there is a path where sunshine blesses still
where flowers grow in abundance
and the air is sweet.
Ten thousand may fall at your left
a hundred at your right,
yet you will not fall
if only you can believe.
Yea, there is a beacon of light
deep inside you
in that sacred space
which God Himself reserved
as His temple
as His sanctuary
and as your refuge amidst the storm
There is a beacon of light
that guides you still
even in the darkest night
even amidst the fiercest storm
Peace is yours
Joy is yours
if only in the moment
that you pray
Nothing touches you
that can harm your soul
or your heart
or your faith
or your song
The most sacred things are protected
forever
in that beacon of light
that shines through
beyond all time and space.

When people speak of LOVE and PEACE,
do we really know what they are talking about?
For what is TRUE LOVE?
and what is TRUE PEACE?
Is love a mere congenial feeling of warmth
for your fellowmen?
Is peace attained through silence
or through the absence of wars and protests for different beliefs?
Is TRUE LOVE keeping silent
when someone you truly love is being harmed
is harming himself
or is purporting to harm another?
Is TRUE LOVE deaf to cries of your loved one’s pain?
is TRUE LOVE blind to one another’s malady?
Does TRUE LOVE turn away for every discomfort encountered?
Or does it endure and remain patient to the end?
When your love encounters differences,
which measure does it use to transcend such differences?
Does it ignore these differences
pretending they’re not there for the sake of peace?
Or does it use a Higher Perspective
One that can transform both hearts
and give them new eyes to see
new hearts to Love
like they have not loved before?
How complete is the LOVE in your heart?
How long can it endure?
How far can it suffer
and bear the load of another?
How True indeed, how True?
What is LOVE?
and what is PEACE?
Do men realize what these are when they speak?
“Love is patient
love is kind
It does not envy
it does not boast
it is not proud
It is not rude
it is not self seeking
it is not easily angered
it keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth”
-Cor. 1 13
