I keep coming back to this verse.  I find great encouragement here .  When I am guilty and need His grace and mercy, I have His promise here in His Word: He is gracious.  When sad news abounds, He is full of compassion.  Though I have been unrighteous, His work on the Cross paid my debt and He imputes His righteousness to me when I confess and forsake my sins.  "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 In Him there is no darkness at all.  When we come to Him, He shines His light. We can either walk in it,  or choose to reject Him.  Why would anyone choose eternal darkness and misery  over eternal light and joy and glory?  Thank You Lord for Your light, Your grace,  Your compassions which never fail, and Your righteousness. Please help me always  to choose to walk in Your light.

It was good to see some people taking time to sit and read them, and it certainly made a few people think. (Of course, we had a few kids having a laugh at us, but we weren't bothered!) So, we had a good time!  I read these the other day, and they jumped out at me: "Yes, the Almighty will be your gold [ c ] And your precious silver; 26  For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God. 27  You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows. 28  You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways."
