The Light of My Heart

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus the Messiah. But we have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us. In every way, we are troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed.

In all your thoughts of your Creator and your Redeemer, in all your efforts to know Him by His Son, remember that the true knowledge of God is something above sense and reason. God reveals Himself to the longing heart as the light shines on the opened eye created for it. The light and spirit of heaven can fill all our hearts.

Let my whole heart be opened to Him, to receive, as a flower does the sun's light, His secret, mighty, divine working in me. I trust this omnipotent God to work out in me His every promise, and I hold fast to the light, blessing, and joy of each one.

As light was the beginning of the first creation, so in the new creation, the light of the Spirit is His first work upon the soul. The treasure of gospel light and grace is put into earthen vessels. Matthew Henry

In the beginning, "Let there be light! and there was light," was spoken then and is spoken now with creative power in God's Son, and the presence and the light of Him become the life and the light of the soul.

Isaiah 9:1
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those living in a land of deep darkness, a light has shined upon them.
