Sunshine in your Heart

John 8:12

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I don’t know what the weather’s like where you are but where I am it’s raining and miserable but we have always got to remember there are countries worse of than the UK at this time of year, such as Russia and Canada.

On the spiritual note if we have or seek to have Christ in our lives WE WILL have ‘Sunshine in our Heart’Image result for The light of life

There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.

O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
While the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face
There is sunshine in my soul.

There is music in my soul today,
A carol to my King;
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The song I cannot sing.

There is springtime in my soul today,
For when the Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.

There is gladness in my soul today,
And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys laid up above.

Dry land

Towards the end of yesterday’s blog you may recall I asked you to pray for the people of Greece as they deal with what’s happened at the southern end of their country.

If you don’t already know some of you outside the UK reading this will know we have had  the biggest heatwave since 1976 with temperatures reaching up to 36 degrees in the south of the country. Resevoires are low as are rivers, farmers crops are suffering as well. Yesterday I heard on the news that hospital departments that would normally be quiet at this time of year are experiencing the same volume of people now as they would in winter.

It is ironic however that we British people are never satisfied because we seem to complain when theirs no rain or not enough sun.

The well is deep, and I require
A draft of the Water of Life
And none can quench my souls desire
For a draft of the Water of Life

Till one draws near
Who the cry will hear
Helper of man
In their time of need

And I believing, find indeed
That Christ is the Water of Life
