Light Breaks Through

I have told you these things, so that in Me 

you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. 

In the world you have tribulation and trials 

and distress and frustration; 

but be of good cheer 

[take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! 

For I have overcome the world. 

[I have deprived it of power to harm you 

and have conquered it for you.]. 

John 16:33 amp

•

Jesus paid it all!

All to Him I owe.

Sin had left its crimson stain —

He washed it white as snow.

My vision can be so clouded so often.

So much gets in the way 

so that I can't see You. 

Within, without,

lies, cares, worries, things

block my view

weigh me down

keep me from 

truth

peace

joy

freedom.

I keep forgetting to look.

My gaze rests everywhere

but on You.

I forget You are there.

I think I have to do this

on my own.

Once again I remember.

I lift my eyes.

Light breaks through.
