THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT
Today's reading: Revelation 18-22

"And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light." Revelation 21:23 NLT

We all know people who bring something into the room the moment they step into it.

Some friends bring joy. Just being in their presence makes you smile. They are upbeat. They are encouraging. They are full of life.

Some friends bring comfort. Just having them near settles your heart. Anchors your soul. Reminds you that things will be all right.

Some friends bring you back down to reality. In a nice way. In a way that makes the impossible seem do-able, if done one small thing at a time. They help you sort out imagination and unreal fears from possibilities and truths.

Some friends bring energy to the square footage they inhabit. When they are around, things get done. Work is accomplished. Tasks are completed.

I thought of those types of people when my Bible referred to God being the Light of heaven. He is all those friend rolled into one--and He is so much more!

He completes us.

He secures us.

He is our heartbeat, our breath, our gravity.

To be in His presence will be to have all we need, all we ever hoped, all we could imagine and more than we ever could deserve.
