For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.
Psalm 36:9 NLT
Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.”
Luke 1:78-79 NLT
***
The Seed, or Grace of God, is small in its first Appearance,
even as the Morning Light;
but as it is given Heed to, and obeyed,
it will increase in Brightness, till it shine in the Soul,
like the Sun in the Firmament at its Noon-day Height.
Elizabeth Bathurst, 1655-1685
***
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,
so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
John 12:46 NLT
You light a lamp for me.
The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
Psalm 18:28 NLT
***
Being faithful in the little light received, in that light I saw more light;
and by it I was taught to trust in God in all my ways,
and to consult him to direct my paths.
Increase Woodward, 1744-1822
