scripture

 

Jeremiah 29:11-13

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

 

En Espanol, Jeremías 29:11-13

 

quote

 

"Pursuing Light gets messy. And it's tiring and sometimes nobody around you gets it. And you keep growing and running while everyone else seems to be spiritually lounging in a hammock, sipping a fruit smoothie, trying to forget the reason they're here. This deeper-walk thing is the only way into greater light. The faint of heart give up. The whiners take their toys and go home. The crybabies blame everybody else for their lack of Light. Becoming the light of the world means knowing the Light of the World. Seeking the Light of the World. Basking in the Light of the World. You have to get up and get serious and do whatever it takes to get yourself out of the shadows and into the overwhelming, eye-squinting glare of His presence. God is waiting to make you into a brilliant light, but you have to move toward Him in relationship."
