John 8:12 (NASB20)
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Light of life is something that can not be seen with human eyes….. For this light is the substance to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, truth and falsehood… It is something strange to the life of this world which it can neither see or understand, for it is the sole prerogative of the new birth…

Seeing how this Light can not be achieved or accessed by anything the life of this world can do to grab unto this Light, but this one thing, and that one thing, is, faith in the giver of that Light.. For without this Light of life one is building castles in the air with their imaginations of the world around them….

For scripture says ‘in His light do we see light’, this is the only light that teaches…. All the learning that does not come from this light, is but human reasonings learning to play with words… For the substance belongs to Christ, for our salvation via, our oneness with Christ is a real thing, it being this Light of life… This Light of life is the necessary substance that faith brings in, if one would see into the mystery of Christ in us, as Christ our life…

For when the reality of the darkness is seen in one’s life, then the reality of the light will be reached for…

Be blessed in the reaching…

@Not me Again my mind goes back to Anne Steele:

"O may these hallowed pages be
My ever dear delight!
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light!"

Like the necessary physical and yet temporary light for life to grow on this planet out of the darkness, created by the expression or word of God in Genesis, we now have the necessary permanent light of the Son's spirit within us, given by the same word or expression of God, the Father - for our spiritual growth and eternal lives of the future.

For scripture says ‘in His light do we see light’, this is the only light that teaches…. All the learning that does not come from this light, is but human reasonings learning to play with words… For the substance belongs to Christ,

2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We see Him, in us, and this changes us to be like Him.

Yes, we seek to know Him, and we try to reason our way closer, we try to do all the things we think we need to, like Martha, while Mary had the better part!

Much love!

Jumping for joy…

Be so blessed in the experiencing the difference between the Martha and the Mary… For all things are therein…
