DEAR GOD: Your Water & Light Complete Me~

 

The Stream of Living Water

God is the source of all life and light. He created the sun, the moon, and the stars to illuminate the earth and to mark the seasons and times. He also created the sea and the sky and filled them with living creatures.

He is the fountain of life, and in His light, we see light. He gives us living water, which is His Spirit, to quench our thirst and to cleanse us from our sins.

He is the light of the world, and whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

He is the basis of all things for all things, humans, creatures, nature and otherwise. In Him we have a sanctuary and an everlasting protective armor. With Him we can accomplish things with relative ease through His power and name. Without Him we are baseless in all we endeavor, which is to say it’s an exercise in futility, we won’t be able to do anything in the way we would with Him in our lives.

His everlasting Light and His Living waters complete me as it should all of His followers and those of faith.

When you see the Light from sun, whom do you think of?

When you see the rushing moving water, who do think of?

“Dear LORD, Your Light, Your Living Water, and Your love complete me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

– Genesis 1:3
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

– Genesis 1:14-15
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so.

– Genesis 1:20
And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”

– Psalm 36:9
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

– John 4:10
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

– John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

DEAR GOD: HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH LOVE~

Psalm 90:12: -“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

Anno Domini: This is the Latin term for “in the year of the Lord” or “in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. It is used to mark the years after the birth of Christ in the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar system in the world today1. Christians can use this term to acknowledge that every year belongs to the Lord and that He is the center of history and time.

Every day is a day with the LORD for those of faith. And certainly, so it goes, every “year” is a day with the LORD.  Of course there is also the verse in which we need to conceive and realize the depth of its content. – 2 Peter 3:8 (KJV)-But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

We are all new creations in Christ (Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new- 2 Corinthians 5:17). So actually, we are new all the time, in Christ.  Firmly holding on to our resolve and our inner convictions of loving God fully and completely, and trying to accomplish, through Christ, all we can to attain those rewards and promises He sets before us in His Kingdom, we look forward to another year to do so!

New Creation: This is the ultimate hope of every Christian that God will make all things new and restore His perfect kingdom on earth. It is the fulfillment of God’s promise to redeem and renew His creation from the effects of sin and death. It is the final and glorious new year that will never end. Christians can live in light of this hope and seek to reflect God’s image and will in their lives.

  • Isaiah 65:17: “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.”
  • Revelation 21:1-: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.”

Think about what more you can do this upcoming year that could have done last year. Is there someone or something you overlooked without awareness? Is there some way you might be able to shine God’s light to someone in need?

“I wish you all a Happy New Year from here in the USA–to all those overseas, and beyond, may God’s light shine in you and through you to all you encounter along the way, may God continue to be a huge Presence in your lives and in your families, and may those who don’t quite know Him, come to realize His love (John 3:16) and just how much He loves us all, in Jesus, name, Amen.”
