Back to the Basics

Yep....that's where I'm going back to the basics. I mean the simple joys of salvation. You know like resting in the work Jesus has done on my behalf. The done deal work that allows me not to be snatched from His hand... yep the basics. There is so much peacee there. It takes all the me's and you's out of the picture and puts the right light and glory due right back to God.I find myself bound in the ideas and sometime the actions of christian life instead of working out of the overflow of His abundate grace displayed in my lfe. Back to the bascis to me doesn't me closing myself off from the rest of the world but it does mean. Looking to the cross first and formost in all things. So Im here looking back to my first love.

Light

You are the light to my heart and my soul,You are the light to the darkness around me, You are the hope to the hopeless and broken You are the only Truth and the Way. Jesus....As I rode into to work on my tan horse no in the car. I was listen to the radio and they ask what does the name Jesus mean to you. Of course my mind filled with so many things. As the day has gone on 12 hrs later. The key thing that Jesus is to me is light. My way get so cloudy throughout the day with major emotional roller coaster but when I think of Jesus as the Light all confusion has light shed on it. I mean even if my heart feels dark and tar. I think of Jesus and I mean light from all of His perfection, greatness and all His ways are shed right on the situtation. To me Him being the light highlights all of His attibutes because looking at who man is men including the dark nature shadows us.Looking at Jesus and those who know Him as Eternal life get sprinked on by all His light it reveals to us our sin and how we are so desparte for a life saver. Who do you say Jesus is what word or words best describe your view of Jesus? So as I end my work day and think of the next rapidly following I think of Jesus the Light.
