Fraud: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Fraud          

     

                When deceit and lies

                attack or come to light

                anger, darkness, grief

                wounds from within.

                Then hatred-anger

                grows into more darkness

                germs spread

                throughout our hearts and words.

                His light never dissolves

                even when only a flicker

                every moment a choice a help to

                handle deceit with courage.

                When we Abide

                in healing light.

Psalm 27:10: "For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the Lord will take me up."

 Reflection Questions

        1. In what ways do our interpretation of dark and light towards others agree with the Lord's? Especially when in anger or hatred?

        2. How can we walk away from areas of rejection without carrying any darkness?

        3. In what experiences of His guidance used for us can we also act towards others?

Share: How do you turn to His light in all circumstances now? How do you handle situations without the darkness?

Attitude: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1st John 2:9-11: "The one who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes."

Attitude

Lord, we hope that we have been able to walk away from hatred now that we have received Your gift of hope and light.

Yet there are still so many rejections and anger that are hiding in us.

Only Your love and mercy to us can teach us how to recognize, let go, and step into healing for both as needed.

Please continue to show us how to recognize our attitudes when silently against someone, and turn to You immediately for guidance and light. And how to prepare for other blindnesses still ahead.

We ask for Your light to keep leading us to Your truth and healing in all circumstances.
