OUR PRECIOUS LAMP

“For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.”

2 Samuel 22: 29 King James Version

For many years I was in total darkness in my heart, my mind, and my life. Life was meaningless. I wasn’t living; I was just existing. I hated everyone and I certainly didn’t trust anybody. I thought everyone was out to get me and that I didn’t have a right to live.

One day out of His Loving Mercy and Grace, my Precious Lamp, Jesus, reached down His hand to me and pulled me up out of the darkness and crippling depression and sat me on His Lap of Love and I’ve never been the same.

None of us deserve His Love. His Love is Unconditional. We can’t do anything to merit His Love. It is freely given, and we are to love others like He Loves us. There are many people who are hurting desperately and they look fine and talk like nothing is wrong, but inside they are dying.

It is so important that we be kind and loving to one another instead of being judgmental and critical. The harsh words that we say may be the trigger that pulls a gun and someone takes his or her life. Love is the greatest gift you could ever give anybody. All worldly possessions will fade away, but the Love of Jesus that you extend to others will last forever.

If you are hurting today, reach up your hand and take hold of the Master’s Hand. He is the only One Who can set you free from a life of pain and desperation. Don’t wait any longer; you are not alone. Jesus is holding His Hand out to pull you into His Arms of Love.
