Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer.
Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you.
Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.
Put your trust in the light while there is still time;
then you will become children of the light.”
John 12:35-36a NLT
***
Sing and rejoice,
you children of the day and of the light;
for the Lord is at work in
this thick night of darkness that may be felt.
And truth flourishes as the rose,
and the lilies do grow among the thorns,
and the plants atop of the hills,
and upon them the lambs do skip and play.
And never heed the tempests
nor the storms, floods nor rains,
for the seed Christ is over all, and reigns.
George Fox, 1624-1691
