GOD HAS SHINED IN MY HEART…

By Anita Mondragon
 
“God has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” -II Corinthians 4:6
 
To put things into perspective, here are a few verses from that passage…
 
“But if the gospel be hid, it is hidden to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.  For God, who commanded the light to shine of of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
*******************
The first verse I shared with you really speaks to a conversation I had the other day with someone I love very, very much.  But you see, I can’t convince anyone that Jesus is real…that He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  All I can do is tell them what He has done for me and ask Him to reveal Himself, so they will allow Him to do the same for them!
 
I drew that verse from my Promise Box.  It had this poem that went along with it:
“When all your mercies, O my God, my rising soul surveys, transported with the view, I’m lost in wonder, love and praise!” -unknown
 
God also said in John 14:27 – “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”  You see, we must BELIEVE that when we witness and preach the Gospel and pray, God’s Word will not return void, but will accomplish what it was meant to do…and this is to bring mean to salvation!
 
I BELIEVE!  DO YOU?
