Articles and Poems With A Spiritual Perspective

This is my first poem that I've ever written. It is also a personal testimony regarding an illness that I've had for about three years now. Through prayer and reading the Word of God I realized that I don't have to live my life as a victim of this illness but rather as a gallant fighter. I got my life back and I now live for the Lord and through His strength I can have a complete and full life.

The Blissful Light
By Rebecca Hart

Night never ends and the splendor of morning is far away in a distant plain.
Will I ever find my way through this briar, submersed of thorn and thistle?
The darkness of my prison is but a stronghold in my own grieving mind.
Is there a whisper of hope or a glimmer of light to be found in this eternal woe?
Then a thought of both sorrow and comfort enters my imperfect mind.
… "For by His stripes we are healed."
He, my Glorious Savior has already made me whole, through his sacrificial death.
The lies that have enslaved my serenity have now been brought to justice.
The enemy has poured out darkness upon me,
but my Savior Jesus Christ, through His extraordinary mercy and grace has brought forth the light.
He is joy, peace, love, power and everything that is good.
His love casts out all fear and all hopelessness.
The morning has come and has brought the blissful light.
The darkness has been forsaken and is no more.
