Prodigal:\u00a0 It is getting dark.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Yes, but we do not have to stop.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Let’s continue then.<\/p>\n

This is from Charles Spurgeon<\/p>\n

It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but he is the skillful singer who can sing when there is not a ray of light by which to read, who sings from his heart, and not from a book that he can see, because he has no means or reading, save from that inward book of his own living spirit, whence notes of gratitude pour forth in songs of praise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now my flesh is trying to put my spirit in darkness.\u00a0 I am having thoughts of past hurts in the past month.\u00a0 A part of me wants to linger on those hurts.\u00a0 I know I need to forgive.\u00a0 I have prayed, and looking to the Lord.\u00a0 Today it seems a battle to stay focused on love, grace, and forgiveness.\u00a0 I just need to praise God.\u00a0 Lord I would never have known you if you did not seek me first.\u00a0 Thank you for even given me the time to sit, and spend time with you.\u00a0 Thank you that I have running water, air condition, and also the ability to call someone in just a second.\u00a0 You really have given me so much and when I focus on that then the spirit changes to be one that is focused on you.<\/p>\n

Ye are the salt of the earth:\u00a0 but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted?\u00a0 It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.<\/p>\n

Matthew 5:13<\/p>\n

Jennifer Van Allen<\/p>\n
