I always see in my mind’s eye the painting by William Holmen Hunt, which hangs in Oxford, England, in Keble College. While we lived there a few years, as Stephen studied there, I got to see it firsthand. My surprise was that it was so small(!) – but I’d always known it, perhaps from being a small child in a church where it hung in one of the Sunday school rooms. That verse is lovely to inspire us to open the door to our hearts… and receive what God has us in each day.

I love the verse for September since Ivy and I just got back from Colorado yesterday. Talk about "lifting my eyes to the hills". God's work is all around out there in a wonderful way.Nancy

Out of Darkness

2010-08-10T23:02:00.000-04:00

This particular scripture has always meant a lot to me because of the light the Bible brings into my life. The "shining" quality of God's word brings me out of darkness, out of dark corners, and into a clear understanding of God's love for me.

When you walk in the dark, you have to be careful. There are so many things to bump into, step on, or break. But God's word makes it a much more life-giving journey by illuminating things to watch out for, and things to embrace.
