I always find myself struggling on trying to find just the right things to write about for my Sunday posts. I don't know what it is, sometimes I just can't find the inspiration. But oh no, not today!
It all started in Sunday School. The words that stood out to me that were written on the chalkboard were, "Christ wins. Satan loses." 4 words that are so powerful and will always be true. Someone commented in class and shared a great quote by Jeffrey R. Holland. He said... “The FUTURE of this world has long been DECLARED; the final outcome between GOOD and evil is already KNOWN. There is absolutely no question as to who WINS because the VICTORY has already been posted on the SCOREBOARD. The only really strange thing is all of this is that we are still down here on the FIELD trying to decide which TEAM’S JERSEY we want to wear!” I just got thinking, "Wow!" like Satan will never, ever win. Sure, there have been times where people have been caught in his traps and snares for just a little bit, but they can come back. They just have to grab onto Christ's arm who is reaching out to rescue us. He loves us. And then Young Women's came along. Sister Bertele I love you girl! Your lesson was spot on. We watched a video that really brought the spirit. Here's the link... Click and check it out! https://youtu.be/fycvkAhYz1I After the video, each of us young women were handed a candle. Once the first candle was lit, we began to pass it on lighting each other's candles in the pitch dark room. These candles represented the Light of Christ. We all were born with the Light of Christ. It is an influence to do good. The natural man wouldn't be one to help an elderly person cross the street, or wrap their arms around a burdened down person, or smile and wave to a stranger, etc. Those are examples of the Light of Christ in us. Each of us felt the spirit in that room. Many of the girls had tears down their face. Not only did we see the light in our candles, we could see and feel the Light of Christ. It is real and it is there. There may have or will be times when we will be blinded by the darkness and we will for a moment fail to see the light. It happens, but that is a part of life. But guess what, there's hope guys! It's in Christ. Light will always penetrate the darkness. The darkness cannot succeed. I hope you guys are having a beautiful Sunday. Remember to be a light this week and pass it on. You could influence so many. <3 Ness

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
