TODAY’S WORD…

.

The instructions of the Lord are correct.

They make the heart rejoice.

The command of the Lord is radiant.

It makes the eyes shine.

REFLECTION…

.

There is a constant battle going on inside us

– between right and wrong.

.

To ignore it is fatal.

…..

To address it is life-giving.

.

That is why we need to stop

and take a deep inward look at ourselves

and at the way we are,

the way we think,

the way we act.

.

It is in these moments of reflection

that you can find out whether,

notwithstanding your worries and problems,

there is this wonderful hope deep inside you

accompanied by an indescribable pure joy.

.

Either that or else what you see is just an empty void,

which you may be seeking to fill with snatches of shallow happiness

and instances of self-indulgence.

.

The good news is that,

if you find yourself admitting that you do not like what you see in yourself,

you can always turn to the Glorious Healer,

who makes Himself readily available for everyone who goes to Him

– His name is Jesus.

.

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

His laws and commands are simple and life-restoring,

and they also bring back the sparkle in your eyes

– reflecting the Hope and true joy that only the Lord can bring to the yearning soul.
