Light dawning

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness" Matt 6:22-23

Woohoo! I have words again. Wow. I'm back. Bursting with things to say. Curious about what it'll sound like. My words are like legs that are a little shakey from being unused for so long. I feel a little wobbly. Finding my balance.

I've spent most of my time being silent, immersing myself in someone else's words. Almost took me a whole year and now that I'm done I want to go back and start all over again. (I am actually)

It's truly the most beautiful story ever told. I hope to spend most of the rest of this blog talking about what this story has meant to me. I'm afraid that my own words may not do it full justice. How do you speak of God who's love is so pure, so unfailing? How do you speak of a darkness that is so great some mistake it for light? How do you speak of a forgiveness so complete it totally wipes out sin?. How do you speak of grace and unmerited favour? How do you speak of mercies that are new every morning?

I absolutely have no idea, but my plan is to sit at the feet of my Teacher and let him speak through me. In the hope that my story will become your story. A story of a search, of redemption and of a joy and love that is so great I just want to shout about it from the rooftops.

So let's start at the beginning. God is good. :-)
